Higgin"s Mom,I can't tell you how many times I said, "It's a good thing she is cute". I thought it was neat when you said it. I hate to say this, but I got so frustrated with Snoodles and her piddling and pooping anywhere she wanted to, that one day when she pooped right in front of me, I picked her up, showed it to her (never ruabbed her nose in it--UGH). Yelled in her face and put her outside. I think it scared the living heck out of her because she was trained from that point on. Except for the couch issue a couple of weeks ago. But, I yelled at her --right in her face==and she never did it again. I know, I know, you are not supposed to yell at them. But I was so frustrated what with taking care of my husband with colon and throat cancer that it just happened. BUT It worked~
