質問: hold it i am having an issue with our 13-year-old bichon frise and am hoping that you can point me in the right direction. we adopted our dog when he was 1 year old, and he was house-trained. until recently, our work schedule allowed us to walk him three times a day. midsummer, my husband changed jobs, and we now are able to walk him only twice a day. it had not been an issue until recently. for the past two months, he has been going in the house nearly every day while we are at work. we have consulted the vet, and our dog was medically cleared. the vet suggested we sedate him during the day with a mild sedative, saying that should decrease the accidents. i have a few issues. i do not believe that it's right to sedate our dog just because he cannot hold it any longer. ここでのhold itはどのような意味でしょうか?よろしくお願いします
回答: おトイレを我慢するという意味のholdだと思います。itが具体的に文章の中に出ていませんが、“accident”と言っている点からトイレを我慢するのhold itだと思います。
