So, Bear has some hot spot issues for the first time. Vet gives us steroids and Zyrtec, says that he will drink and pee more for awhile. No problem. Turns out it also has another side effect.
He has always pooped once per day, after/during his long walk in the morning. A reasonable 'pile'

. Welll, on this medicine regime all of a sudden it is 3-4 times a day, piles the size of Mt Fuji
How, did we find this out? Came home from work, and 80lb Mr Never had an accident in the house had left a gift the size of a 5lb yorkie, smack in the middle of......drum roll....a pee pad!!! I could not believe it. Thought it was hysterical. I just bet, sometime poop eater, lil miss Bug looked at it and said 'no way'.
Anyway, Bear has seen the girls go where they are supposed to for so long, I guess he figured it was an emergency and that was the place to go.
