I was awakened yesterday morning (around 2:00 am) to Merlin opening the shower door (click), then having a case of diarrhea in the shower. He's done this before, but I thought it was just an isolated incident. I got him outside while I cleaned out the shower, hoping he had gotten it all out of his system. Then, at 5:15 am, I heard another "click" - he was going back into the shower (I guess for another round). I got him outside (and he was sure in a hurry!). He's crated during the day - I guess we should have left him in the bathroom with the shower access! What a mess!

His diarrhea has resolved itself finally (he ate part of one of his toys) and he's back to normal now. But, he sure is one smart puppy! Now if I can just teach him to hose it down too!  :lol:
(I adopted Merlin from a rescue organization about 8 months ago.)

Oh, bless him!!! You're right, he just needs to learn how to clean up now! LOL!

Can he come teach Duke how to do that?  Duke had diarrhea on Friday night and Saturday morning...well Friday night Duke had an accident in the bedroom and I didn't notice, Duke covered it up with a towel...Adam found it when he kicked the towel.

Way to go Merlin!!! My sister's Golden would do that as well...Yup, I think the next step is teaching clean up

What a smart boy Merlin is, bet it wouldn't take long to teach him to turn on the shower :lol:

Wow that's great!! he didn't mess anywhere else, he's so smart!...like you say if he could just hose it off after you would be all set!

I don't know why, but that story really made me chuckle!  :lol:  Maybe it's the way you told it, but I think that's so funny. I agree though, what a smarty! I hope Merlin is feeling a lot better.

I was telling my brother about it - he has some friends that are buying a new boat - one with 2 bathrooms so they can teach their Mastiff to go to the bathroom in his own shower! I told him that I would send Merlin over for lessons - it won't be too expensive!

Poor Merlin.  I feel bad for Charlie some, because he's got a weak stomach, and can be prone to the trots from time to time.  I hated when we had to give him mineral oil!

I know there are some dogs on this forum who could teach Merlin how to clean it up but you may not like the method.   :-&
