I have discovered three problems with Toffee
1. The weeing, he could get a gold medal in wee
. He goes outside - wees - comes in and immediately wees, then wees again. Goes outside - doesn't wee - comes in - doesn't wee for ages, then wees four times in quick succession. He wees on the floor, on the carpet, on the fireplace, on the kitchen mat, on newspaper, in his bed, in Ripple's bed 
, everywhere.
2. Ripple is finding it hard to contain his excitement when playing with him, and is suddenly going over the threshold, which at the moment we are struggling to control.
3. Me and OH are so entertained by him (even watching him sleep
) that we're getting hardly anything done that doesn't relate to dog things . And yesterday when I decided I had better iron some clothes, my iron colluded by promptly giving up the ghost.
I come from a family where doing nothing was virtually considered a sin, so after a week of Toffee watching I'm beginning to feel guilty. But, as OH keeps reminding me, we are actually doing something by being with Toffee for the first weeks of his life with us. So I'm trying not to care about the kitchen floor, the hoovering, the weeds in the garden, in fact the whole untidiness of everything

. I suggested he brought him in and then took him straight out again (that didn't go down well as it's raining here, but I thought it was a reasonable solution
