I take Ambrose outside around every three hours. He pees outside every time I take him and poops outside twice a day. Sometimes, however, he will have “accidents.” I put “accidents” in quotes because I am positive he knows exactly what he is doing. Anyways, just a few minutes ago, I hear Ambrose barking. I look over at him and he is barking at a blanket. I figured there was a toy under the blanket because he will bark at a toy if he thinks it “wronged him in some way.” (e.g. hurt himself while he is playing.) I try go back to what I was doing except Ambrose keeps barking and barking and barking. So, I decided to see exactly what was under the blanket. It was a poo. As soon as discovered the specimen, Ambrose stopped barking and walked to the toilet. Now tell me he doesn’t know exactly what he is doing.
