Potty Indecision

Kody is having a tough winter. I think he may prefer the cold weather that we were having to the wet weather that we are having. He does this thing where he loiters around the front door when he needs to go out but he won’t commit to it because he can tell it’s raining.

After getting up a few times and having him walk away, I just let him tell me when he was ready. Finally he barked to let me know, and even then he almost walked away when I approached. I told him to wait.

When we went outside he changed his mind, but I knew he had to go. He went pee and tried to pretend that’s all it was, but I know him well enough to know it wasn’t. I really had to press the issue and walk him over to the grass, at which point he immediately pooped. Crazy dog.

He also went to the vet to get his toenails clipped today. I tried integrating the clicker and hot dogs to ease the vet visit, but it doesn’t work. He’s too nervous to care. I know I should probably learn to clip his nails, but it’s just one more thing on a long list of things I probably won’t get to.

We had an old classic tonight. I love iceberg lettuce and blue cheese. I chop about a quarter of a head of lettuce up and leave a piece for Kody. He loves it, he was so excited because he knows whenever I have salad he gets it too, and it’s been a while. The iceberg lettuce had been so bad that I stopped buy it, but now it’s good again. Kody will only eat iceberg lettuce, and he loves it.
