I can't tell you how frustrated I am.
We have been keeping Pea-Pie in the butler's pantry- it's like a little kitchen off our regular kitchen. (kitchen is a weird word.
) She won't go in there which is great, and she goes outside when we bring her there.....when she "knocks" on the door, after she eats, sleeps....etc.
But as soon as I let her on free roam- even if it is 15 minutes or so.... BAM! She does something. Even if it is a a teeny tiny couple drops of pee- she just
has to do it. And I won't find it until later- its normally upstairs in one of the kids bathrooms or someplace inconspicuous where I can't scold her because it's been a while.
I have read that if you keep them with you while inside via a leash you can keep an eye on them and scold, sweep and plunk em where they are supposed to go. I have done that, but she never tries to go in front of me- so it works. But as soon as I let her free in the house.... again, it's a tiny turd or pee spot.
She was in heat for a month- she started at 8 mos old. I wasn't expecting that. So she was definitely holed up because that was just nasty. Hopefully now we can start letting her roam via the leash again and be more consistent, but dammit...
