I don't have a lot of faith in vets at the moment after one relieved me of £2000 and failed to spot that Lemmy had cancer, which a different vet diagnosed within half an hour. That is now subject to a complaint, not that I'm expecting it will get very far.
Aye, at the first sign of trouble we try and get him outside, and hes outside as much as possible during the day. When he does the deed outside we praise him to the skies.
However, we cant monitor him continuously and hes already learned to poop on the mats, which over time move ever closer to the back door.
We take up his water at about 8pm so hes not guzzling all night and weeing everywhere (quite safe overnight, just so long as it goes straight back down early am), and the one poo he did last night was on a puppy mat, which earned him more praise.
Another quiet night. He's figured out the dog bed next to the human bed is for him, and is happily spending all night there. The only slight downside is that if I get up to point Percy at the porcelain he thinks its morning and gets excited, but he soon quietens foen and goes back to his bed when i flop back into my own.
Im starting to get a gauge on his character now. I don't think he'll be quite as ebullient as Lemmy was, hes a calmer character all round, but he loves human contact and attention as much as any good lab.
