Nope, you can keep him!!! I do feel your pain though. Gizzmo is 14 years old (if he lives till Oct. 28th), has never been completely housebroken and it has gotten worse the past 2 years, plus now that he is going blind and deaf, has separation anxiety even worse than before, and if he gets in the bathroom, he will just sit in there and bark until someone comes and "rescues" him.... not the same as baying, but annoying just the same! He can't see you, but if you get out of what little sight he does have, he starts barking, and doesn't stop until you come find him. And you can be walking him to the back door to let him out to potty, and he will hike his leg on the chair leg right in front of you. Drives me bonkers!!
