Seven days, no #mistakes. What #re-educated #Gizmo about being #housebroken?

My promise to you: this garden will be free of lizards.

Seven days, no mistakes, but what re-educated Gizmo about being housebroken?
Was it one evening in the cage when we were out?  Did Gizmo decide that he would do anything not to go back there again?
Was it being careful to take him outside after 10 pm for those last few squirts of urine before bedtime?    Was it the almost whispered “Bad Dog” while pointing at the mistakes on the hallway rug or in the closet?
Was it waking up before his first stirring, so I am at the computer when he strolls into the office, stretches and then calmly looks at me with eyes that say, “No big rush, but when you get a chance, I’d love to relieve myself?”
Whatever worked, we are grateful and almost boastful about it.
