    Default We Figured Out Who The Culprit Is!!

    So, for about 6 weeks now, whenever someone, other than Me or DH comes around the pugs, one of them does an excited piddle on the floor. We actually assumed it was Lola, because it started with a friend that Lola just loves to death! But it has happened with other people as well. As I said, we assumed it was Lola but weren't 100% sure as both pugs squiggle and jump and kiss the guest at the same time. So yesterday after Ozzy's shots (we left Lola at home) we stopped in to a little boutique where an acquaintance works, to show off Ozzy (she hasn't met him yet) and Lo and Behold, Little Ozzy peed in her lap as she sat on the floor exchanging kisses with him!!
    Any advice on how to curb this?
    Will he grow out of it or is this something we have to look forward to?

    Little Bugger!!

    He's still young and may not have full control of his bladder muscles yet either. So, when he's excited about meeting someone, it just comes out. With continued socialization and improved bladder control he will hopefully outgrow it. You can help avoid it by keeping greetings low-key and not letting him get too wound up and overly excited.
