potty problems... Ok, right now I don't know ifI am writing this for help or more to vent or possibly even both. My sweet loving baby Romeo has a bigtime potty problem. The problem is not that he can't do it...the issue is that he is doing it all the time and in the worst possible places! He has not been sleepingin a crate at night lately because he barks so long and loud it hurts my head. However every time he has been out of the crate he has been peeing on my bed, furniture, floor, things...etc. The worst part of it is that he has now worked up to peeing on me! I am going crazy here because I cannot make him stop! Even when I put him in a crate he pees in the crate and through the bars of the crate onto my floor. The floor is carpeted and I have a carpet cleaner but no matter how much I use it the smell never goes away...I have tried everything...even went with fabreeze...which I can tell you right now only removes smells for a few hours! I spent tonight crying because he peed on me when I was sleeping and it woke me up. (that part I am both happy and mad about because I think it made me extra cranky! I try everything with him. I want to find a way to fix my fence to let him outside but at this time he is only inside because he can climb almost anything (he is a monkey). What he can't climb he can jump...no matter how high. This is how he keeps peeing on my bed. He can jump up. I feel like I am going crazy here. I even tried the wraps for boys but he can get most of them off or will soak them within minutes. He also chews them up pretty fast. I really can't wait until my carpet is pulled up but I just don't know what to do in the meantime. He has became a pee-hound! He seems to have a bladder the size of Georgia! He never stops peeing! I love him and I want to keep him here but this is not my house! My parents own it. My mother is so furious about the carpet already that she said if this keeps up I will have to find him a new place or move out. I don't want to do either but I need a solution. (I think she also sees how bad this is affecting me). I don't get much sleep (as you can see due to the time I am writing this) and I stay sressed. How do you break a 1 year old male from peeing everywhere? I am willing to try anything! I love this boy so much. If I didn't I would have already rehomed him. I want to make this work out here! I just need some new ideas. He never used to do this! It started pretty recently. (actually it started about the time my other male baby passed away). I don't know if this is him acting out or reacting to me having another boy in the house but it must stop. It hurts me to be upset with him. He is so loving and sweet and gentle and he means the world to me. Any advice? Please?
