oh, the humiliation....

Hi.

Freddy here.

I'm sorry.  I just can't look at you all this morning.

The worst humiliation the next to the worst humiliation has happened.  

The pee pee pad has appeared.

Now, I suppose I might be less embarrassed if it was in the bedroom or the laundry room, but of course, that's where I sleep and eat, so I wouldn't dream of doing my business in those places.  My favorite fort in the world is under the dining room table, so that spot is out, too.  And my people spend too much time in the den for me to sneak anything under their eyes/nose.  That leaves the living room.  Right in front of the front door.  Everyone who rings our doorbell (we have a glass front door) now knows that I'm having a bit of a problem.  

Mommy wanted to take my picture, but I ran as fast as I could across it.  WHAT!IS!WRONG!WITH!HER?!?  

Doesn't she know that you never ever ever take a picture of something that is embarrassing to someone?  Never.

Never, mom, NEVER!  Bad, Mommy.

So when the most humiliating thing in the world happens to me (diapers)....you all will never know.

I hope.

 

Your embarrassed friend,

FreddyDogYoung

Freddy I know a lot of doggies who use pee pads regularly, even without "problems." So I would say, don't worry about it!

[Jane]

I actually thought it was a stylish rug!! 💕🌸🐶💕

It's OK, Freddie. We're not judgmental.

thank you miss jane….i love you!!!

Oh, Freddie, your parents! Mine do some embarrassing things to me, and I hide my face too. They laugh at me because I can't jump into the car or onto the bed. I completely understand your struggles.

Hi, Clarence.
For as embarrassed as I was at first…you sort of learn to make the best of things….and having an indoor potty facility is turning out to be pretty darn convenient!  I’m a quick study.  I’m going there more and more.  Not sure this is pleasing the folks, but hey!  :)  I’m still jumping, but I miss almost as much as I make it.  And I’m tripping over myself a lot lately.  Maybe my nails are too long?  This getting old is not for sissy boys is it?

Your friend,
FreddyDogYoung

Hey Freddy. Hang in. Mom's exist to embarrass but only cuz their love is larger than the Universe. And consider all waste control products as useful tools like chewy toys and ball bands. Your virtual friend, Ellen

We have one of those on our kitchen floor, too! I'm pretty sure it's just for...um...sleeping on....

[steph@woolythyme]

Buddy, you and I could be twins separated at birth.  We totally think alike!

My two cavaliers spaniels are on heart meds including diuretics, and are familiar with pee pads. We actually have them on sofa and squishy dog beds too , since accidents frequently happen in their sleep. There are some great washable ones you can buy , lifesavers.
Tell Freddy not to be embarrassed!
Best wishes from the uk.

Thank you Miss Penny.  I’m sort of getting used to having this around.  Mommy still doesn’t like the way it looks as you walk in our house, though!  Maybe I’ll tell her about the washable ones.  I can pretend they are a rug…which started this whole thing!!!

[Laura]

Shhhh, don't tell anyone but I too, am familiar with pee pads. (Sneeze, cough, oops) It is what it is buddy! xoxox
