Cinder borrows the NASA line ~ "PetTalk, We've got a problem here..."

Dear liddel brudder Smokey is beginning to try Daddy-O's good nature and benevolent mood with his poddy problems. After Saturday's discovery of the *Wet Spots*, the Kid has been on a short leash inna house and Shop; but there were no problems till we got home Sunday nite. Dad starts cookin dinner for all of us and is watchin the Tube. Smoke's tied to the coffee table by Dad's feets when he gets up and strolls over to the straight chair in fronna the winno and starts sniffin. Next thing Dad hollers *NO* and starts reelin in the Smoke wiffa leash, while Smoke's busy squattin' and hosin' down the rug unner the chair . Dunno if Smoke run outta ammo or got skared and shut the hose off; but Dad cuts him loose an the Kid runs inna kitchen. Dad opens the basement door an the Kid (smart pup that he sometimes is) sprints down the steps, with me close behind. Dad mops up the *Wet Spot* and comes down ta diskuss things wiff us inna basement. We're both onna lay down pad bangin' our tailbones for all they're worth. Dad tells me ta *scram* upstairs and then gave the *Evil Finger Wag* ta Smoke and tied him to the TimeOut Wall.

The Kid wound up eating his dinner onna front porch so he'd have a place to finish dumpin his tank if he had any left. Course he got all tangled around the bushes an started wailin, so's Dad rescued him an wisked him back inna basement for another nite in jail.

Whatter we gonna do wiff him? He just hates to go pee or poddy when Dad's watchin. This morning we sat inna car while he was tied inna driveway - took him 10 minits till he did a pee. Then Dad jumped out an *good boyed* him like he'd wun the lottery. Wouldn't do a poddy at the Shop if Dad was wiff him. Leave him outside for 20 minits and he finally poopied beside the Shop. Only place he seems ta mess up is inna house and onna carpet (never inna basement). Dad's askin for ideas; any suggestions?

We found one idea - make the Dummie wear a diaper from these people: http://www.petorphans.com/bellybands.html I think I'd rather die!

And Dad would like ideas on how ta clean up the *Wet Spots*. This is what he's found so far:
Carpet folks: http://www.carpet-rug.com/drill_down...9&page=5&sub=3
and: http://www.rental-housing.com/rental/catodor.htm
and: http://www.calgaryherald.com/homes/1178616.html All sound like good plans; anybody have any real-pee experience?

Hannah ~ Sure glad you cyst thingie wuzent a reely bad problem; but the Krunchies reduction seems to be a common problem . Ever since SmokeMutt showed up - all skinny as a rail - Dad keeps lookin at Me sayin I'm *fat* . Fat compared to WHAT? I'm a inch taller an 4 inches longer, got 3 times more fuzz, an bigger ears than him... Course I otta weigh more! And that's NOT fat - I just got more looser skin than him! Sheese, Dad!

Hi, Star*Burst an Cody ~ He'd be doin better wiff his lessins iffin he spent less time on timeouts an more time praktissen! Oh, yeah; Dad sez I got *damp* FritoFeed and he keeps furgettin to sniff the Smoke's pads.

Wag yer Tails and give us sum good ideas for fixin' Smokey.
