The end of a very busy, long and exhausting week came yesterday. Carl and I both went to bed shortly after dinner last evening, and didn't let the dogs out one last time. At about 3:30 this morning, I was awakened by Todd, sitting next to me on the bed. We've been allowing him to sleep outside his crate at night because of his spending days inside one while we're at work. But his ears were back--A sure sign that something was wrong and on his mind. I started talking to him and he sheepishly stretched out, rolled onto his back and started with his cacophony of sounds, telling me about what was bothering him. I knew exactly what Todd was saying. I got up, (noting that he wasn't following me) and I found 'what' he was talking about. I didn't say anything, but just cleaned up his little accident. I went back to the bedroom, and there Todd sat, on the corner of the bed, ears still back, looking at me, as if to say, "I'm sorry, but this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't gone to bed early..." Todd likes it when he's right...
Its amazing how pooches know whats going on and when they have done someting out of there control. Bites does that also, like sorry Dad, couldn't help it!!!

Sometimes this happens at my house too.
ReplyDeleteDogs are smart they know when they have done something they shouldn't of but heck if he could of opened the door he would of ! Maybe he tryed to get your attention whilst you were asleep but you didn't wake in time for him . Miggs is so routined it's not funny and if we boggle that routine she lets us know. Oh well at least ya know he knows it wasn't his fault ! Hope you and your clan have a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeletePoor Todd, he does look like he is very sorry. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yup - sometimes we do it to ourselves. I was too lazy to put a fruit bun into the cupboard yesterday and just threw it in a bag on top of the cupboard last night. Banjo ate the whole thing! Yup...I'm now waiting for it to show up somewhere. Probably on my carpet! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWishing you, your family and all your four legged friends a wonderful holiday season Kim!

ReplyDeleteOh Todd, you rip my heart out when you feel bad. I am so glad you live where there is an understanding family.
ReplyDeleteLittle mistakes my friend are just that....Little....they still love you as much today as they did yesterday.

Bert
hee hee you've got to love him
ReplyDeleteTodd you are so sweet. It was not your fault. And I got to say you have an amazing mom for know it wasn't your fault and just took care of it and went back to bed. I hope you got some belly rubs too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Accidents will happen
ReplyDeleteIf Jill doesn't get her 'last call', she wakes us up at three a.m. whining as is her back teeth are floating. I'm not good at that time...
ReplyDeleteThank DOG we have a doggie door. We'd HATE to have to rely on THEM for even more stuff. Food and walkies are too much already!!

smart boy. he fessed up, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a guy. Of course he's right, how could a cute terrier ever be wrong??
ReplyDeleteOh Todd, I would let take you out when ever you want if you want to come live with us?? Just have your mama let me know :)
ReplyDeleteWe shut our pups in the bedroom with us and they sleep on their doggie bed butt to butt. Usually have to get up once during the night to let them out the doggie door, but then it's usually right back to sleep. At least Todd told you what had happened and didn't try to lie about it. Good boy, Todd.
ReplyDeleteGreat story. I know just what you mean. My first Golden "Sunny" brought me a turkey carcass to the side of my bed in the middle of the night, asking if I meant to leave this out for him. I traded him a cookie for the carcass. He thought that was a pretty good trade considering!
ReplyDeleteYou are a good boy Todd. Roooooos of pride from Easton
Poor little Todd. He must have been really worried about it. We will have a lot of wee wee and the rest to clear up when our little puppy spinone comes in January. xxx
ReplyDeleteSweet Todd :) Sometimes we humans are the "bad dogs" Merry Christmas Kim, Carl and the pack.
ReplyDeleteIt is so funny when they know they've done something wrong (although was it?) and then they come and tell you. I'm glad to hear that Todd told you he was sorry though. Thoughtful little guy!:)
ReplyDeleteAt least he let you know about his oops instead of you "discovering" it by possibly walking in it while still half asleep. He is such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteCindy
What a wonderful mum you are...I was awakened last night to a soft gray paw tap tap tapping.....wake up mum...I need a pat....
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute of Todd. He is adorable. TFS.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays. ANA
Poor Todd he probably thought he was going to get a scolding, but how could you scold such a cute face so early in the morning.
ReplyDeletesuch a smart and sensitive little fellow!
ReplyDeleteScottie ears are so expressive.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Oh little Todd. You are such a sweet little boy. Your momma was right- she knew you did not do it on purpose.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, good and cute little boy you are.

ReplyDeleteWe know your a good boy Todd. S**t happens!
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time he'll wake you up before he goes. ;o)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you all! ♥
Todd was a very good boy to tell you. When somedoggy has accidents around our house well... They don't EVER own up to it...
ReplyDeleteToo sweet! It's hard when they have a routine, isn't it? Happy the poor guy is right AND not in trouble. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet boy!!

ReplyDeleteHey Golden Pines Gang, Jet here. Hi Miss Kim.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you, Miss Kim, you and Mom MUST meet... you have way too much in common. We've had the same situation here, except, I wake Mom up and she takes me out in the middle of the night. That happens quite a bit at this time of year when the silly human set off fireworks and I'm too afraid to go out at the regular times.
I love it when they fess up - we can never be angry with them.
