Freezing rain is falling

[ksmith]

...and King has to go outside. But he's become a soft nellie since he's spending his days indoors--I open the door, and he stands in the gap, feels the wind and listens to the patpat of the freezing rain, and decides that maybe his bladder is big enough after all.

Mickey, for all he seems more delicate, is different. When he has to go, he Has To Go. He simply lowers his head and trundles out into whatever mess Mother Nature throws in his path.

At least if Mickey goes outside, I know King will have to follow. He has his pride, after all.

A "Max and the Typhoon" scenario?

Google Is Your Friend.

I read it originally on the Bujold List, but rediscovered it via Google.

Tink once held her bladder for ~14 hours rather than go outside in cold freezing rain to go potty. She might have tried to hold it for longer but I suited up, put a sweatshirt on her, then slapped a leash on her and dragged her outside before she could explode.

There were times during the summer heat when I had to push King out the door. Or simply go outside myself...then take several steps away from the door because King wasn't having with any faking out. He had to see that I was well and truly going outside before he'd step out as well.

Then the first thing he'd do is raise his leg for a good long count, and I'd wonder how he managed to hold it.
