liked dogs but 'inherited' my wife's dog when she died 3 years ago and

she's not working.

used code phrases to tell a dog to pee or
poop - is that what you're saying?
Reviewer Clive James reported that she
used "Hurry up" for pooping, and he wondered
what would happen if a passing parent with
a child called out "Hurry up!"
