I understand this is just scintillating for everyone out there in All About Pets, but Jaspar seems to have grasped some of the minor points of "going outside" and doing his duty. Cue sound track of bells, whistles, and applause.
In the interim, hubby and I are in a heightened sense of awareness and poised ready to do the ten yard dash to the door with Jaspar clutched tightly (no room for error). As mentioned in my first post, we got our darling from a breeder in nearby Lake Panasoffskee (Yorkies By The Lake) and cannot believe our good fortune. This little dog has brought us so much happiness in just a few short days.
