Spring is here!
I ran into a neighbor this morning walking his dog. He was telling me how "amazing" his dog was that they could leave it all day while they worked and the dog never pooped or peed in the apartment.
Now to me that isn't "amazing", that's just typical house breaking of a dog.
What I see as amazing is a dog my parents had. A Kerry blue terrier who would sit on the hill overlooking the lake that we lived on while they left sailing for the day and when they returned anywhere from 6 - 8 hours later the dog was sittin in the exact spot as when they left.
Or when they took a day trip to chicago , left at 8am(about a 3 1/2 hour trip) and planned on returning late in the evening, but were unable to return do to a sudden snowstorm that left them stranded in chicago until the next day ( this was over 50 years ago before doppler radar and such). And when they returned home expected to see quite alot to clean up and never had to clean up anything. Now THAT is what I call an amazing dog.
But to say a dog (not a puppy). Is left alone during the day without pooping and peeing to me isn't what I think of amazing.
Just my opinion. Just wondering what all of you have heard from pet owners that in your minds were "less" then amazing...
