becoming a man

there are some canine gender traditionalists who feel very strongly about: "the leg lift", and at 5 months old, believe that it is time axel shifted from a plie in second position to a grand battement in first-- to appropriately drain his bladder on the closest tree/5'1 slightly neurotic, blonde human/ottoman.



i have put in many hardship, puppy toilet training hours during the 'enough snow to bury a golf cart' winter storm this past january/february/march, and the absence of steamy yellow puddles left in little dipper constellation across the rug, is enough of a result for me. while axel may continue to pee like a girl well into his dotage, is of little consequence. should he wish to raise a leg as he gets older, that will be his decision, and despite an overwhelming proclivity towards co-dependence, i have no intentions to stand by and lift a hindquarter for him.
