re: #44 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

Hello sweet baby!! These threads need way more Teddy!!

About a week before Christmas, Teddy decided he no longer wants to go outside. He had become difficult in the fall. I had to carry him to the door to put on his harness and leash. Once at the door, he’d be all excited about going out. One day, I was getting ready to take him to his swim therapy, and he just refused to let me pick him up. He hid under my desk. He was okay the next day, but after that, no way. He’d always make sure he positioned himself so that I couldn’t pick him up. And when he saw the collar, harness and/or leash, he’d skedaddle.

After a week of failure, I just gave up. He’s fourteen and a half, and he gets to live the life he wants (to be fair, three flights of stairs are hard on his old joints and back). It really didn’t take him long to pick up on pee pad etiquette. So, now I have a cat-like house dog.
