That's a good idea. I have felt like she goes there to be alone, and to get away from us.
In my desk drawer I keep a bag of Smokehouse duck and sweet potato treats. Twice a day, Scooter comes in and jumps up on my leg and "talks" to me about the drawer. She wants a treat. Since these dogs are so small, I cut the treat in half and give half to each dog. Then she disappears into the bathroom again. Jilly lays under the bed where she can watch me. Actually, I just noticed that Scooter has laid down under a table and is sleeping where I can see her. That's great!
