When I take Rocco outside to potty he spends more time chasing after the dang bugs than he does trying to go potty. He is obssessed with bugs. And he's not picky; he like lightning bugs, grasshoppers, even dirt dobbers. He goes completely insane jumping all around and getting down in this hysterical pouncing position. He plays with them a while then eats them......YUCK.

It's so funny to watch though I can't stay mad at him for not pottying. Silly silly dogs.

Oh yeah my boys too. I think everything that moves gets their attention away from the duty at hand (pottying) planes in the sky get them going, barking and running around watching the sky, bugs, frogs... they eat bugs... they chase frogs! Thats really funny! They seem almost scared of them but when they hop my boys are right there keeping close watch! haha

With Max are the birds, he starts barking and jumping until I open the back door and he chases the birds out of "HIS YARD".I have bird feeders and they all come to eat during the day, but nope, Max wont not allow any birds on his property!

AHHHH this drives me crazy too! Its like just when Jamie has found the PERFECT spot to potty (which in and of itself takes him forever!), something flies by or hops along to distract him and off he goes. I always wonder how many times I can say "Jamie, Go Potty" before I'll break and go over edge! I finally had to get a patio set just so I would have a place to sit down while he got it together and did his business. LOL!
