Jessica is your yard fenced? Why not leave Carter out there alone for a few minutes (maybe watch through the window) so that he can pee in private. It sounds like he's picking up on your and DH's frustration with the peeing and this might be making him nervous
about doing it.
And taking the diaper off would be likely as dogs don't like
to be in their own urine or excrement.
The twitchy dreaming and bunny stumble chasing sound excellent in terms of his nervous functions coming back.
Speaking of stumbling I kinda fell on my head
this morning! I got out of my car for the first dog walk, walked around the back end of the car, slipped and hit my head on the bumper on the way to landing on my butt on the concrete sidewalk. Those plastic bumpers that give way are a great idea! I had a bit of a headache for about 5 minutes and then everything was fine. Whew!
Now if I could only do something about my dark purple fingertip (a fall in my dad's driveway while carrying groceries).
I'm ready for winter to be over! I'M READY!!!
