You know when they are little, you can’t wait to no longer wrestle them to change diapers. Who even uses reusable diapers anyway - but I guess that is becoming more of the norm again. I now fall in the category of washing soiled diapers - how did it come to this.
Well let me tell you, I started potty training early, I figured he would follow the older ones lead. For the most part he does. He alerts us when he has to go, but then there are times where I find the “hidden treasures” or the accident spots. He is going on almost four - WHEN WILL THE DIAPERS END! I can’t take it anymore. You see my kids are 14 and 16, I have been done with diapers for YEARS! Then I got our first dog - Dakota Ivy, she is a diva and a princess and everything that makes her wonderful. She is well trained or has us well trained - either way she is precious. Then HE arrived. HE is Tucker Clark. He is stinkin’ cute, a snuggler, my shadow and is always watching me. Dakota loves to pretend she hates him, but he still tries to be her best friend. However, he leaves me gifts that I didn’t ask for and I don’t want! Since he doesn’t care when or where he wants to leave us presents, HE wears a diaper. He is a JERK. My neighbor told me about doggie diapers - I am sure that they are meant for either potty training for dogs or older dogs who can’t hold it. But in this house, it is a dog that doesn’t understand that no other dogs enter our house - you don’t have to keep marking it!! Sadly, this means this almost four year old wears diapers - DAILY. I am at a loss, where did I go wrong - was it getting a second dog, something during potty training - his traumas before coming to our home. Everyday I wash the diapers so there is a new set for the next day - ugh! It is too late to turn him away or to give him to someone else, we are three years in. I love him too much to get rid of him, but I also love my house being free of accidents. SOOOO, I don’t see anytime soon that we can be done with diapers. UGH! Suggestions welcome.

There is no way I would be washing doggie diapers. You are a better dog mom than me!
