Penny has never gone outside for bathroom reasons. We take her out for fun every few days.
I think the only thing that changed is stress in our household. I really believe these sweet critters feel our stress and react to it. Penny suddenly started going all over the place, and still on her pad too.
Yesterday she went 100% on the pad.
We have the pad next to the new Pet Loo that a wonderful YT person sold to us. We decided to let her get used to the Loo, encourage her to use the Loo, but not train her to use the Loo until June when we get back from California.
We thought it would be confusing to train her to fake grass and then go to CA for 3 weeks and use pads again. I guess we will have to figure out how to do this once she is trained to the Loo and we go another year to CA and try to use pads.
We will cross that bridge when we get there. LOL
Anyway, the other thing that changed is for one day we opened up our 6' x 20' hallway connected to the kitchen for her to run around on. She went potty 2 times and poop once at the end of the hall and then also pooped in the kitchen laundry room. The pad was right there in the kitchen and she just didn't use it. We blocked the hallway again and it took a day for her to get back to using the pad. Weird.
