Oh my gosh, that is exactly Lexie; of course on the coldest and rainest day, she will not concentrate when I take her out to potty - and the least little things (a leaf blowing, a bird flying over) will throw her off and she'll have to start her "walk" all over again - I am standing like a statue so that I don't disturb her thought process and the whole reason we are outside. The worst though is if she poops first; then it's impossible to get a pee out of her, even though I know she needs to!!!

Although she won't stand for any dog to sniff her rear.
The hardest part with her is 1) she still has accidents at 3 years old and 2) sometimes when going outside, she gets on one of her paranoid kicks and won't potty even tho she has to. She'll start spinning/turning then stop and start all over. It gets irritating when it's cold or raining, which I'm sure she picks up on.
My bf jokes that Bella has multiple personalities. Which sometimes, it seems like she does. She'll be fine and chilling out, then the next second, she's freaking out. She's getting better, but still has her days when I'm at my wits end with her. |
