 Angry poop?
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I wanted to thank everyone in advance for a great forum. My wife and I adopted a 6 year old yorkie named Sissy last november. We love her so much and she has really brightened our lives. We both work and we have to leave her at home from about 8:30 am to 5pm. We have her on a schedule to go potty outside. 1 and 2 in the morning, 1 and 2 when we get home, and 1 at night before bed. She really hates being left alone and she has pooped and peed in the house before but she pooped on our bed for the first time since we've had her. My side. My wife was really hurt by this because Sissy knows better. We hadn't noticed until it was time for bed and it seems like she had forgotten that she had done that. As soon as she noticed us discovering our little "prize" she ran downstairs to her pillow on the couch and won't come back up. The little stinker knows she did wrong and we don't even have to say anything to her. We don't want to be mean to her but we have to draw the line, we want to discourage that. Sissy is the sweetest dog ever but i can't help but feel that she turns into Miss Hyde when we're not around. She is really smart, maybe too smart for her own good sometimes. She thinks shes the boss of us. Obviously she wants us around all day long so she has a lap to sit on but we can't do that. Any suggestions? |
