Today Thurmon graduated to his "big boy" collar. We'd bought a medium-sized collar to match his leash before we picked him up, but it was too large for his puppy size. But now he's finally grown into it.
He also had an exciting hydro corridor discovery - a dead mouse! The hydro corridor just got mowed (which only happens every few months), and I suspect that all the little creatures living in the long grass couldn't outrun the large mowing machine, and got chopped down. Ugh - we had to pull the dead mouse out of his mouth - he'd snatched it up before we even realized what was happening, and was definitely not inclined to "drop it". [Note: dead mouse discoveries would continue to happen right up until we moved at the end of the month. The hydro corridor walk was starting to become a dreaded zone.]
We went on another subway outing, with a visit to Cedarvale. On the way home, Thurmon started to let out a yip each time the train stopped, which was unusual, because he had been very quiet on his previous train rides. We finally realized what was happening when a stream of urine started trickling out from under him. Poor guy - he didn't even stand up to do it, and was obviously trying to hold it in. Luckily I'd had an old towel in my backpack (for cleaning off potentially muddy paws), so I looked like a real pro, whipping it out and wiping up the floor. Next time he yips on the subway we'll know it's for a good reason.
