		<description><![CDATA[Mike started marking in the house two weeks before he was neutered. He marked everywhere. The living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc. He marked a lot of things such as the bedpost, the wall, the recliner, Lorna&#8217;s bathroom towel (that about got the boy killed). The weirdest thing he marked was Sam and Joella&#8217;s raised food-bowl [...]]]></description>

On Saturday, Mike had to stay in his crate about 9 hrs because I was gone and Lorna had to work. Lorna took out the divider panel from the big crate so he had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At least, we think we have a diagnosis.
Mike&#8217;s vet, Dr. Knepshield, called Tuesday. His urine culture results were negative so no weird infection going on. Combined that news with the well-within-norm blood work up, the cause of Mike&#8217;s urinary problem narrowed down significantly.
The vet thinks Mike has what is called &#8220;urge incontinence&#8221;. It is more [...]]]></description>

I also took in a urine sample again. After a brief discussion, it was decided to do another urinalysis and to do a blood work up. I would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A dog is considered a Service Dog (SD) when, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the animal can do one or more trained tasks that benefit the person with the disability (PWD).
(Keywords there are TRAINED and BENEFIT. But more on that later.)
Some states have Service-Dog-In-Training (SDIT) laws which offer support for dogs that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think we&#8217;ve crossed over a hurdle. There are two reasons why.
Mike&#8217;s been on antibiotics for a (possible) infection. Today was his last dose. He went from making multiple small puddles to making single big ones. And today is the second day in a row we&#8217;ve not had any (major) accidents. We are still keeping [...]]]></description>

House training has been difficult. We&#8217;re now keeping the water on the other side of the gate where Mike can&#8217;t get to it. He gets all he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike is one tricky pup.
House training is still on going with some great progress and still very little progress.
I purchased an elastic dog collar that has 4 huge bells on it. The pet supply store had them on sale from leftover Xmas stuff. I can&#8217;t imagine putting this on a dog as the noise is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike&#8217;s still not house trained. We&#8217;ve spent the past 4 days catering to his bladder and bowels and still he pees in the house. 
We blocked off the living room so he would be confined to the one room.
We take him out every 2hrs or less.
We take him out at the pause after a play [...]]]></description>

Oy, what an experience this has been. Mike is roughly 14 weeks old. Old enough to learn right from wrong in the human world and terminology. But that doesn&#8217;t mean it is easy for him or me.
