My beautiful australian shepard (not you, Buff, but another of your kinsmen whom I love) is now having problems with bladder control at the age of 15. Ohno Oh no, better always to roll in the pile of your choosing than to have it thrust upon you. The tiny brain of a bird has that option removed from him. They have no choice but to poo where they eat. LOL
