We go through this every year, and really, I don't get it.
He get's the same number of walks at the same time as normal. Nothing changes in routine. He still pees and craps a bajillion times out on our walks...
...and he starts going to the bathroom in the house. For no apparent reason other than there's snow outside, though it goes for rain as well.
So, Mr. Frodo, welcome to crate land.
Apparently, I can no longer even leave him sleeping on GreenChair to take a 10 minute shower. I get to come out to a nice dark stain on the carpet to clean,
just what I wanted to do at one o'clock in the morning!
Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow! (That'd be shampooing the carpet, FYI)
