Addendum

Blue has been spending quite a bit of his time in the shop, now.  I'm a tailor for those who don't know.  This means that there is thread on the floor.  I started bringing Blue to the shop to make sure that he has adequate opportunities to alert me to the fact that he needs to urinate / defecate.  His shop time now has the added bonus that thread in his stool prevents it from falling onto my new carpeting.  Poor Blue was so mortified to be stuck in this position with a little turd dangling off his bum.  We would not permit any pictures of that.  I thought a picture of our morning commute would be more appropriate.
