SSMinnow - 2010-10-20 6:58 AM For dog people, when I take Cooper out of his crate to go to the bathroom he pees on the floor or me before I can get him outside.  The book I read said puppies really dont have full bladder control until they're 16 weeks (he's 12 weeks).  Is that true? is there anything I can do to make this problem go away sooner? or give him a fighting chance to hit the grass?

Mett - 2010-10-20 8:17 AM I know it has been a long long time. i apologize but life has been pretty insane for me. I have 2 terms left for my Masters in Computer Science and it is working me to the bone. I haven't been able to swim for a while due to not having the time to make it to the pool since I have to drive about 30 minutes. I do have my mile under 10 minutes now and can run almost 4 miles or 5 miles at a time. I am spinning 3 times a week as well and lifting weights in hopes for a better and stronger year next year.

I have struggled at home as my wife is training for a work at home job and back to school so that is where some of the normal pool time is. I know real life comes first and I will be back to swimming as soon as I can. I was unable to do the tri this year as the one I was oging to do was eliminated by me having to work so....year 1 is down the tubes for me. Today was my first spinning class at 0615 which is insanely early but I feel pretty awesome.

I know it's Wednesday because I've been up since 4am with the newest member of the family!  But it also means at least one of you are racing this weekend, so expound upon the details!

For the rest of us, why did you make the switch to more minimalist shoes? for those that haven't will you?

PS. The orange is for Twin and Trev who seem to have a thing with the color....

From Wikipedia: "Canstar Sports Inc., the parent company of hockey product manufacturer Bauer Hockey, acquired the hockey division of Cooper in 1990, and was itself acquired by Nike five years later." Remember the Cooperalls?

suz what you're telling me is he does have pretty good bladder control.  he's learned that the crate is his home so he's not going to pee until he gets outside of it.  i think you just need to take him outside a bit more often.  its a pain for the first week or two but he'll figure it out.

another thing, as soon as you see him start to sniff around some where for more than a few seconds, get him outside.

he'll pick it up soon enough.  and there will always be accidents. maybe months or years apart as he matures.  try not to get to mad at him when it happens.  cooper doen't have "problems" suzy.  but he's got an awesome owner. ;-)
