Good luck! |
Good advice! We had gotten into a bit of a routine, which is why I thought he'd be ok on his own for a few minutes. I'm up at 5:45, so I'd take him for a pee just outside the back door. At 7, we'd go for our walk and he'd pee and poop. We go to a particular, different area for this. I was thinking that the routine was good (working), but from now on we'll do our walk first thing. Makes no difference to me if we do it at 5:45 or 7.
