SO - what to do with Jack, 115 pound growing Great Dane? Luckily, we have fabulous friends! Cynthia, one of Bradley's oldest friends, said she would be happy to keep Jack while we were away. Perfect. Just so happened that the days WE were going to be out of town, she also had a work related trip she had to go on too. Oi. So she said.. no prob! My son can take care of Jack. Perfect again!
Monday night at 9pm we drove the 1 mile to their house and left Jack there. He had two 11 year old Goldens to play with for three straight days! I can only imagine what went on for those three nights and three days. They have a fenced back yard... we heard Jack wanted out multiple times that first night only to run laps in the yard. lol. I'm sure he was thoroughly confused about going outside, still in the city limits, without a leash attached to him. But I think he got over that real quick. I can just see him cavorting around the back yard, laughing and throwing slober absolutely everywhere.
The older dogs go to the back of the yard to poop. Jack - you know, since we have no yard and only a patio, he goes straight out our front door, on his leash, and poops. So thats what he did over there. He walked straight out the door, off their patio and pooped. Needless to say, the older dogs showed him what was more proper, and the next time he had to take care of business, he did it at towards the back of the yard. Cute.
He slept well, didn't eat anything he wasn't supposed to have, didn't kill anyone or anything, and didn't tear up anything - which is whats I was afraid of. Everything was fine.
We went and picked him up before getting home from our WAAAAYYYY too long trek across the state, got him home, farted around for an hour or so.. and then I took him outside before going to bed. I put his leash on him, and he dragged me out to the yard and which point he usually squats and pees. He did not squat. He, very wobbly of course, lifted his left back leg and peed all over his front two legs!!!
WHHHAAATT?? My little baby... lifting his leg?!?!?!? When did he grow up to be such a big dog? Wait a minute... he learned this from those two Goldens!!! HAHAHAH.... isn't that funny!!
