TGIF with Doolin

Oh, dear.  Channeling Spirit, by any chance, handsome Doolin?

I just read this from an old post of yours, and I'd say so! I'll have to try your tactic.

Spirit is an odd duck. After about a year with me he was still not asking to go out. He is my problem "child" in that he sometimes marks in the house (new items) and very occasionally urinates in the house for no discernible reason--presumably because he needed to go out and I didn't get the message. I had such an odd and interesting experience with him. One day a few months ago I was talking to him at the door to the backyard. I told him yet again that "pee belongs outside". Then I said, "I'll let you out any time you need to go. Just let me know. Go stand by the door and I'll let you out.". I did NOT expect anything to come of that request. Low and behold, from that day forth, Spirit began to go to the door and look over his shoulder at me, asking to go out. I remain amazed and very pleased with my odd smart boy. :blush

He's very very handsome. :beatheart 

Even after 6 years, Toodles has ... issues. She's pretty good on the urine front now ... unless she has a UTI. Poop can be a problem, since she's at the age (14+) where poop happens. But as soon as she's back on track, the memories of all the cleanup and laundry fade fast.

There were about 2 years when Piper the Perfect, Spirit, and MoMo Meany Pants were all with me, in addition to Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Winston, and OSH Miles. What a great bunch.  Piper was definitely the kind leader.  Great times!
Spirit maintained his new skill of asking to go out.  I'd forgotten that old post--thank you so much for resurrecting it!

Hard to believe that sweet, sweet face could possibly be involved in anything naughty.
