Remember the Good Times... Remember the Good Times... Remember...

Herman and Leonard have been testing my patience tonight...

I let Leonard out to go do his doggy thing in the yard and two minutes later he piddles on the floor again in the kitchen. Aaarrrghh... (frustration, not pirate. There is one more 'a', 'r', and 'g' in the pirate version.) That was the afternoon, tonight I spot another spot. It just so happens that he was only two arms lengths away from me when his spot was spotted. I lunged for him because I was in no mood for a chase around the house. As I lunged... he, in ancipation of the hurtin' I was going to put on him, cried out and rolled on his back in a last attempt to beg for my mercy. As he did so, he let go of another warm piddle of "sunshine smiles" that I caught with my hands and then he proceeded to roll into as he tried to avoid my grasp. So, I end up with a floor covered in piddle, hands covered in piddle, & a puppy covered in piddle... Aaarrrghh!

To be fair, Leonard has actually made much progress with listening and behaving and is on his longest running streak (2 days) without leaving any accidental "love loafs" on the floor for me to step in. So, tonight I am trying to remind myself of the good times and focus on his progress. Here is one of the good times several have enjoyed...

Above is brother Nathan relaxing during a Christmas visit. Leonard and Herman are never shy of making themselves comfortable with someone elses body heat. Below is another happy moment caught on camera with Avery enjoying her doggies also. It looks like she is in one of her wild moments and Herman & Leonard (especially Herman) are far from amused.
