I was supposed to go to bed, but a chat with friends online reminded
me of a story about Doggie, a dog that I used to have in Australia.
Doggie
was a black toy poodle. He used to sleep with us in the bedroom, as we
have managed to train him not to pee until we let him out the house. But
I remember one time, we woke up and found pee on the carpet. And when
we looked at Doggie, he was hiding in the corner shivering, as though we
were about to scold or even beat him.
We didn't, of course. We comforted him, telling him it's alright.
The
thought of that still breaks my heart today. A little animal, being
obedient, yet helpless. Doggie must have struggled to maintain his pee
at night until he couldn't take it any more. Poor guy...
