I have a story but in order to tell it right I have to back up a bit..... when we got our dog we decided that it would be best to mat train her. We chose this way because we got a puppy a couple of years ago and he was poisoned. Unfortunately, a lot of people around us don't really care for dogs. Long story short, we thought it would be best to keep her inside as much as possible. So we get these potty mats from the vet. Most of the time (when I am home) I will leave the back door open and she usually goes outside anyway. Her mat is very rarely used. Until recently. I have noticed more and more lately that I have had to change it every day as opposed to every few days. Hmmm... that is strange because I am almost always home and I see her going outside most of the time. The mat has been soaked through, completely..... very wierd. This afternoon I was sitting on the computer when Pajha came running over to me "MOMMY, MOMMY... Peyton is peeing on Nikki's mat".... "WHAT?????????????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????" sure enough it was true. HE has been the one weeing on the mat, not the dog. I was soooooo mad. I just couldn't understand why he would even THINK to do that. Especially when there is a toliet not even 2 feet away. UGH! So I made HIM clean it up, and mop the floor (because we know that no boy or MAN can aim properly and he had gotten it all over the wall and beside the mat). KIDS! As of right now, I don't find any humor in this situation. It reminded me of the time when he was about 3, he did his business (think #2) on the floor and told me that Shrek did it... and it wasn't even MY floor, it was my sisters floor. Maybe it will be funny another day. Right now I am just MAD!

Oh, Kerryne, I totally sympathize with you. I just found out that my kids think it's great fun to pee on the floor downstairs. Since when did we have animals for children?
Oh I am so glad that I am not the only one who is raising animals! He he he! I have no clue what gets into them. Maybe they just think the way the pets do it is fun???!!!??? I wish I could train the dog to use the toliet. Now that would be great!
Oh, Goodness!! I can't believe what kids minds think of! If we could only catch some of their little thoughts before they were put into action, we could save ourselves a lot of frustration:) So far I haven't had the peeing elsewhere problem. Austin refuses to go anywhere but the toilet:) I'm sure that will change as he gets older.
That is awesome, especially when it's somebody elses kid. LOL!
We are going to be back in Salt Lake about the same time.Yeah!!!!! I can't wait to see you!!!!
"shrek did it" that is sooo FUNNY!
I'm sure you didn't think it was cute at the time, but think of the great story you get to tell when he's a teenager!
it's not just kids that do that. think teenage guys crossing the bridge from juarez to el paso. think men outside of bars, guys just do that stuff. maybe your one of the lucky ones. you caught him now and told him not to do it. so maybe he won't be one of those peeing guys and you've saved him from a ticket (citation) in the future.
