Yet another post about my dog

Omar prefers to drink from the toilet, and he's a terrible drinker. He gets a mouth full of water and then starts running, drooling all of the water out while he runs. The bathroom has become a hazard, so we started making it household policy to close the toilet lid. It took Omar all of about three minutes to flip up the lid and drink from the toilet anyway. Then we started closing the door, and this morning, Omar figured out how to open the door. Worse (or better? because I'm kind of proud of him?), he's figured out that he can open any door in exactly the same way.
Today, I'm going to try to teach him how to do my laundry.

Maybe I'll post my severed head photos--Liebchen absolutely mangled a poor bird and left it there for me when I came back from 'flex's Birthday Extravaganza in Pittsburgh. I was disgusted, but proud. As I cleaned it up, I suddenly knew how all those killers' moms felt as they cleaned up their progeny's "messes". It's...complicated.

Omar will need some big training and lots of time, but I think you're totally up to the task. And having him do your laundry is a definite plus!

Don't know if that would be more of a pain than water everywhere.

I know people have trained cats to do it. Though his butt is much bigger and he might miss and you could end up with crap on the seat.
