Interesting experience

Today I had the opportunity to go on a campus tour with a good friend of mine. She showed me around to all the places I've never taken the opportunity to visit until now. On this tour I met with a lady who told this story of her puppy with "special needs." She has a pug puppy, Coach, who, as he's growing, keeps developing more physical disabilities. I'm not sure of the exact order of these developments, but Coach's hind legs are too short, and do not function properly. He is partially blind in his right eye, and has urinary incontinence due to prostate problems. I believe she also told that this little guy has to take antibiotics for his kidneys and two different types of drops in his eye. She proceeded to tell how she bought newborn baby diapers to alleviate problem with “leaking,” but how diapers don’t exactly accommodate male puppy anatomy and fall short of the intended source of the leak. She decided that the best way to handle this problem was having the puppy wear little boy’s underwear (you know the ones with little cartoon characters) with maxi pads inside! Despite all his problems, he gets along just fine, I guess. It was quite an interesting experience. It’s not everyday that you meet someone and they tell you about their puppy’s need for children's underwear and feminine hygiene products.
