If you get all worked up and overly sympathize with her, it will confirm in her mind that there really is something to be afraid of. |
thanks i need to do a better job of that rather than cuddle her and play into her fears... i didn't think about that helping her to keep being afraid of it.
thanks again,
we had a rough night last night, she needed to pee at 3:30am but there was no where to go outside, it was pouring and she doesn't like to pee on the concrete patio under the over hang, also she wouldn't use the potty pads, so eventually she used the kitchen floor.
this morning i forgot to pay attention enough to her and put her in the bathroom and got to talking to DH and Sadie used to bathroom floor to poop on. mommy got mad at her, (stupid mommy) i was so tired and frustrated at her, she whined all morning and i was too tired to give her attention, so i x penned her, she hates it in there for some reason, even with all her toys, food, water, crate and bed. it's really annoying to hear her screaming all morning while i got ready...
this is the only morning that we both had to go to work, so neither of us could devote attention to her,
i hate penning her....i cried on the way to work, it's so hard to leave her alone for the first long day. we did it last night for only an hour, but today is 6 hours. i hope she doesn't think we hate her....
