Holy cow I spent the majority of the afternoon mopping up messes. Remind me that Esther doesn't get swimming lessons until she has bladder control and her drinking problem in check, lol. For all the other puppy parents out there, I kid you not, Fifteen messes. Fifteen! 15! That's not counting the 6 she managed to do outside and the 2 next to the pool. How she drank that much water is beyond me. We'll not be doing that again! She had one bath, we though she was done and we went to the store. We came back and boy am I glad her kennel is outfitted with 1" of caulking tape! She managed to step in it, sit in it, draw on the wall with it . . .. ππΏπ¦
I'm taking a Flexeril and 4 ibuprofen because after cleaning all those messes, the second bath, and then the walk my arthritis is Angry. She's trying to kill me, I swear it, lol. Thank goodness she's good with baths.
Fortunately I have been able to decide she's not a water addict, she's just very thirsty. At some point she did start refusing water - likely because her eyes were floating! I was loathe to give her water after our walk, haha, but it's hot out here today! Wish us luck on a dry evening!
