Housebreaking in the rain...

So I took him outside at 9:30 last night, knowing he had not poopt since he got home. I knew it was sprinkling, but figured if I turned around to get an umbrella it would confuse him. SO: by the time we got to the "Poop Spot" it started pouring.
Elvis loved the rain and was playing and racing around, and laid down in the wet grass. Meanwhile I crouched under a tree (any port in the storm) thinking that what was cute at 2:30 in the afternoon sun was NOT cute in a downpour at 9:30 at night.
I waited and waited and waited while Elvis frolicked. I was freezing.
After fifteen minutes he had STILL not poopt so I took him back inside. I towled him off (waaay to cute) and as I slid him back into his crate I told him: "I don't get up until 7 a.m."
3:45 a.m: He cried. Took him out again. He peed but STILL did not poop.
6:45 a.m: He cried. Took him out again. Peed, but still no luck with the you-know-what.
7:00 a.m: Gave him breakfast which he wolfed down.
9:00: Elvis "The King" Presley Rooke FINALLY poops two HUUUUUGE ones at "The Spot."
Never thought poop would become such an important part of my life, but it has.

  1. You are too funny! The Big Poop! What an event! It's so nice you had sweet, young visitors to play Elvis out! Sounds like he was a good baby, hitting The Spot, even though it took two days. What a cutie! Enjoy the day!
