First thing in the morning, evening and late night. And provided with food twice a day - morning and evening. Now when it rains we cannot bring him out for walks so since he lives in the bedroom, we sort of monitor him and make sure we catch him in time to do it in the toilet. He pee in the toilet previously (like in the middle of the night). impressively, he poo in the toilet as well, except for once on the room floor. When I checked the poo is black. Like really black. For humans, it meant an internal bleeding somewhere inside your body. For dog, I'm not sure. perhaps he tahan his poo too long? Jack is walked again once the rain stop (almost immediately because JR needs alot of exercise n walk). His poo then, seems to be normal. very strange .... anyone have encounter such? ps: when we cant walk him because is raining, we play a whole load of games with him indoors.
