Spot and more

Yet another dog has suffered at the teeth of Daisy. Spot made the mistake of sniffing a rawhide that was *hers* (nevermind that there are at least 3 more nearby that are exactly the same). A few stitches later and Spot is back to normal - sort of.

I didn't think he would be so easy to potty train. He's figured it out pretty quickly, and he's also figured out that he gets a treat every time he goes. This means he'll pee a little and run over to get his treat, then run back out and pee some more, then back in for another treat. Do you reward this or not? I'm thinking after a few days, only 1 treat per trip outside - but really thats up to Scott since he is letting them out all night. And Scott says his new trick is ringing the bell to go out (which I've witnessed too), except he knows this will get the door open and a treat, so every few minutes he is enthusiastically attacking the bell. I mentioned that this is when having a not-so-smart dog (Daisy?) is good. She is obedient but would never figure out how to take advantage of the system (and mom says she rang the bell there, but I really don't think she gets it - or else she doesn't have to b/c she goes outside every half hour with Spot). :)
