I'm so upset!
I just picked up Emma and Milli from the doggie sitter's, and they were really naughty today... I'm so disappointed in them, I don't know what to do!
In the 5 minutes it took me this morning to fill the sitter in on food/schedules, one of them had peed on a throw rug, and then Milli squatted and started to poop under their dining room table! I caught her and immediately took her outside and scolded her, but it was too late. I thought it was a fluke because she was excited to be there with her friends.
But, then the rest of the day got worse. Apparently both of them had NUMEROUS pee accidents in the house, and she ended up cleaning up after them all day. Not fair to her, her husband, or the other dogs there. I wish she would have called me and told me to come and pick them up, but she's such a sweet, caring person, she wouldn't do that.
I went to get them tonight, and you could tell she was just TIRED of it. She told me they couldn't come back unless they had diapers!!!
I'm shocked they were that bad-Emma hasn't had an accident in the house in I don't even know how long-like 9 months-and Milli's been doing great at home for the past few months, with a few isolated incidents! I'm so disappointed in them, and I feel awful for the sitter since she had to deal with it all day.
But what baffles me most is that when I came home, Milli ran right upstairs, to the pad in our dark bedroom-all by herself-and went pee. I came up as she was finishing, and SUPER PRAISED her! I didn't even tell her to go-she just went on her own. Then, I realized I forgot the take out boxes from dinner in the car, so I went back downstairs, and as I was coming back in I noticed that Emma had peed on their pad downstairs. I didn't see her go, but it was obvious that she had just gone. They clearly know where they need to go at home, and know it's expected of them.
I'm so confused and disappointed that they had such a bad day, and that our sitter had to clean up several accidents because of them today. She's the best sitter anyone could ask for, and I truly feel awful they made the day so trying on her. I had a rough day, and then this-I tried so hard not to cry while I was there, picking them up, but couldn't hold back on the way home. I'm just so upset.
They are supposed to go back a couple of times in the next few weeks... I'm working on getting some diapers ordered-anyone have any YT vendors they prefer for diapers/panties?
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix the problem, or to work with Emma and Milli so they aren't having accidents at her house?
Thanks in advance.
