I like it. I don't want him to think that I'm trying to say that it HIS fault because of the surgery. I do just want to cover all the bases.

I found a diaper that she can't get off and she actually woke me up last night to go out because she HATES to pee in that diaper. Still, a diaper at not yet 3 years old is not good and I know it.

I'll let you guys know what he says. I feel like I'm being a pain - yet they have a brand new office and between both of my dogs, I've helped furnish it so . . . I will expect him NOT to be offended when I sweetly ask.
