| She likes to sleep where she pees?? Isn't that opposite??? Roxy has this weird thing she has been doing and it is bothering me. Recently she has been insisting on sleeping in her pee! Her xpen is set up with a crate, puppy pad, and food. I have it set just big enough for those things. When she needs to go potty I put her on the pad but she either lays down and sleeps on it or waits till my back is turned and pees in her crate. Oh my!! I took the crate out (thinking maybe it was too big) and gave her just a baby blanket to sleep on but she uses THAT as a potty and still lays on it even after she pees!! Gross!! Has anyone elses puppy done this?? Is there anything I can do to rid her from this??? This is bizarre!

YT 1000 Club Member | I was reading a little bit about this. Some people think that when a puppy is in new surroundings they do this because it's a familiar scent. If she's not super secure yet it's like marking a familiar zone. I'd just try to keep her as clean as possible and lots and lots of love (which I'm sure your doing anyway). She'll probably stop soon. If I remember right you haven't had her very long. You can imagine how new and different everything smells and looks to her. I really don't think it will last. Maybe someone else will have some more insight, I'm only trying to imagine why she's doing it. I really don't think this will be something she does for always.

| I never thought of it that way. That makes a lot of sense.
