To go or not to go...

Wikipedia states that the "bladder is a hollow, muscular, and distensible organ." Everyone has one. When one is young bladder control is an issue, thus toilet training for people and housetraining for dogs is a must. When talking about getting a dog I got lots of advice like "get a female, they can hold their bladder longer".
Apparently rabbits can be litter box trained and pigs can be housetrained which might make them desirable indoor pets to some. I know people end up with animals that pee in the house. They are often animals who have been rescued who have emotional and physical problems or animals whose owners never really got the knack of how to housetrain. Elderly animals as well as elderly people often have bladder control issues. I have a friend who puts her ancient Pomeranian in a diaper at night. Ridiculous? Well, perhaps not any more than putting your mother in Depends.
So, I got Misha thinking I would need to housetrain him. Perhaps I would keep him just in the kitchen and take him out on a rigid schedule. I was realy to go the whole nine yards. It has been 5 months since he entered our lives and I swear the dog has the bladder of a camel.
I take him out at 7:00 PM to pee and then not again until 6:00 AM. Once he went 15 hours without peeing because it was raining and he did not want to go outside. We should all be so lucky. I imagine his bladder the largest organ in his body. Maybe it is part of his mutt pedigree. He is a 20 lb. dog with a Great Dane bladder!
