Does a bear $hit in the woods?

Yep. And Galen does the same thing in the neighbor's yard. Ugh.

I though this battle was over, but there are times when he's just too impatient to go home. So he just drops his drawers wherever and let's it drop. Frustrating.

It all started when we were at a park, no commode around, and he had to go. Emergency. Nobody was around so traipsed down to the trees, had him drop, plop, and wipe. Done. I did the doggie-style cleanup and we were back to playing.

Since then he has repeated the maneuver several times in our, and the neighbor's yard.

I know, it's just a phase that will pass. But the theory applies to move than just when to drop one's drawers. Why do certain behaviors become OK in one context, but not another. When is an emergency truly an emergency?

Oh, and my apology to the neighbor that will be wondering if that pile was from their kid or not.
