[matese]

I am ONE LUCKY GAL. When my vet offered me Cody, I told her NO because they mark every thing. I have had ONLY girls, raised them from 8 weeks old. When my precious Matese had to leave me she was 17 y/o old and peed on just about every inch of all the carpets in my home. I shampooed them, then had them professionally shampooed. We humans cannot smell dog pee but dogs can. This was another reason I told my vet I did not want another dog, did not want a dog peeing all over my carpet. My vet said some dogs will, some will not. She also said Cody was neutered he may or may not hike his leg. To appease my vet for thinking of me when this little boy was surrendered I went to JUST SEE THE DOG, knowing I would NEVER take a boy home. I sat and watched this little 2.5 year old little boy, he followed all the techs around the lunch room, I felt so sorry for him, how could anyone give him up. I took him home, talked to him on the 45 min. ride, I was afraid to get too close to him because, had he peed on the carpet or hiked his leg, we would have been back at the vet that same day. At this time I knew nothing about belly bands and if I did I don't think I would want to keep a dog with a diaper on all the time. I AM A LUCKY GAL, Cody has NEVER peed on the carpeting, hiked his leg ONCE when I was walking him along a fence, so now we do not walk near anything that is higher then grass. He has NEVER hiked his leg in the house or the yard. I have been blessed to have been given this precious little boy that RESCUED ME.
Sharon did NOT WANT A MALE IF HE HIKED HIS LEG, she told this to Dee when she spoke about buying the pup. She told Dee she would buy the pup under one condition, and that was if he was a leg hiker she would return him, Dee agreed to this, but told Sharon he did NOT lift his leg and was pad trained. Neither was true. whether it was peeing or marking, it was still leg lifting and Dee told Sharon he did not do this. Had Sharon been told he was a leg hiker she would never had bought him. This is on Dee, she sold this baby just to get rid of him, it was cruel to the pup and to Sharon, we all know how easy it is to fall in love with a beautiful sweet baby, how hard this had to have been on Sharon to have to give him back.
I am so happy the gal that bought him knows his issue and will work with him and finally this little boy will be in his forever home being adored and spoiled rotten.
