When ‘papa’ toilet-trains a puppy!

When ‘papa’ toilet-trains a puppy!

One day, Tommy excitedly

brought back a little puppy.

He fed him using a milk bottle.

The other siblings were equally excited

squatting around

the puppy’s lined basket.

Then…

We heard him running

to the back of the house.

And he sat there,

waiting, waiting…

This went on the next few weeks.

He was toilet training the puppy.

*****

Papa was very annoyed.

“Very noisy, very noisy!

Yelping the whole night!”

Tommy had to close the store room

for the lessen the din.

As Max grew bigger.

He was very active.

He would go round and round

as soon as we entered

the gate from work.

” Move, move away,

you are such a nuisance”

Papa was so irritated!

The following fifteen years

saw papa feeding Max

because Tommy often forgot!

Papa would religiously

wash down those poops

at the back of the house, too!

*****

Both Max and incidentally papa

were very well trained indeed!
