I love those 3 little words. The minute I hear them, I have an incredible urge to.. well…. you know… relieve myself. Besides having “to go number 1″ when I hear “go pee pee,” I can also tell from those three little words what kind of walk I am going to experience. Take for instance, tonight. Hallie and I just came back from my walk. The minute she opened the front door, she started saying “go pee pee, go pee pee, go pee pee, etc.” Didn’t she want me to at least walk down the stairs so that I wouldn’t pee right there on the front porch? I guess not. We barely walked anywhere and she just kept saying “go pee pee.” Finally about a half a block away from our house, I couldn’t control myself anymore, and I went. No sooner had I relieved myself and we were on our way back to the house.
Ok, it was 7 degrees outside, but other than that, I do not know why Hallie was in such a hurry. I mean I have been in the house all day, doesn’t she think I would want some fresh air. So, it was 7 degrees. She has a pretty warm coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. What about me? Nothing. I don’t even wear boots. I mean seriously have you ever seen those dorky dog boots? They look like balloons for your paws. I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them. I can handle the cold. Of course the fact that we were outside for about 3 minutes makes it very easy for me to deal with cold weather.
Actually on any given day, the time from when we walk out of the house until I hear those three little words, dictates the kind of walk I am going to have. Severe cold or rainy or snowy weather, they say ‘go pee pee,” about 5 seconds after we leave the house. On a warm sunny day, we can walk 5 miles before I will hear a “go pee pee.” I am practically dying because there is no need for me to go pee pee, if Hallie is out enjoying our walk.
I know that this post sounds like I am complaining – like I don’t appreciate the special times we have on our walks. I guess I am a little bit. Judging by tonight’s weather, I can already tell that tomorrow I will be taking 3 very quick walks. Why? I heard the forecast… 90% chance of snow and the high temperature for the day will be 20! It’s a good thing that no one ever says ‘go pee pee” when we are in the house.
