My son's girlfriend adopted the ugliest dog she could find at the local animal shelter… and then she moved into an apartment where she couldn’t have pets. So… I was under the impression that “Shiloh” would be staying with us only until my son could find another home for him. I guess he found a home… he’s been with us for more than a year!

Shiloh is a miniature poodle-mutt of sorts. He is an older dog that had not been neutered (until his adoption), and so he had developed some bad habits, such as “marking” everywhere… in the house. It's not a "bladder control" potty-training issue, but rather a possessive, territorial, Napoleon-complex-thing ("THIS is mine... and THIS is mine... and THIS is mine..." and so on). This situation has necessitated for him to be “diapered” while inside. So, this little tiny scruffy dog wears a “diaper” (usually a tube sock tied around his waist with a lady’s maxi-pad strategically placed to absorb fluids) while in the house.

Shiloh is sort of a “fugly” dog to begin with… add to this a really bad haircut and a “diaper”, and he is truly a pathetic sight.

Interestingly, Shiloh doesn't seem to be humiliated, depressed, or even bothered by his "feminine" impediment! He's completely oblivious! And it works great!

Instead of a poodle, I call him a “piddle” (because he pees)… or most often “Mr. Piddle-Poo”. Despite his bad habit, Shiloh is a sweet, good-natured little lap-dog that has added messy joy to our lives… And he's truly SO MUCH cuter with a proper haircut!

It's not often when one is out in a casual environment that one finds themselves leaning against a padded wall but, hey, who's complaining when it's soooo soft.
