I'm hanging out with a friend and his kid a couple of nights ago and we are at a play scape in the middle of nowhere. No water, no bathrooms, just some equipment and an opportunity to look up my tetanus records. We had got done eating and were playing, as is of course the issue with kids, you tell them "Pee here, there's nowhere to pee where we are going.

"I don't have to."

"Ok you're three, I'm not going to argue."

We get out there when his little boy has to pee, no biggie, takes him off to the bushes, problem solved. 20 minutes later "Daddy, I have to pee.",

"OK, come with me." I take her off to the bushes, tell her to squat, she looks at me like I'm nuts.

"No, Pottie"

"Not available, just pee here."

"No, dogs pee in bushes." She pulls her pants up and says "I can wait.". We get home and she runs to her mother "Dad wants me to pee like a dog!"

Hey, I didn't see anywhere where you told her to sniff the ground first!

I'm going to do that next time, see how she takes it.

I can't wait til you teach her about digging a cathole and hand her a shovel. Or better yet, teach her that she has to pack out any waste. It might be gross, but it is certainly not what dogs do!

It is too, you don't pick up after your dog?

She'll have fun camping... till she gets old enough to know shame.

Negative Ghost rider. I have a Boston Terrier and a fenced in yard. even with my German Shepherds that I owned in the past, the most I would do is take a hose to their droppings.
