Terra - Sometimes puppies are just hard to housebreak. And, it's not just you, most of us struggle to get our puppies housebroken and we all hate them peeing around the house.
Summer is coming - that might help. My pup is 6 months old and definitely not potty trained. I have a little boy though - so I just slap washclothes (bellybands) around him (pinned with a diaper pin) when he is running around the house. When I work, he's confined to the kitchen and does use his pee pad. But, believe me he's not well trained at all.
Probably no one will agree with me --- but if this is a problem that bothers you so much that you need to go back on your antidepressants -- you don't need this problem. You might find good homes for your little guys and find an older dog that has already been trained (it still could be a relatively young dog - 1 year or 2 years old.)
***** My sweet little Sun Conure had to go to a new home (a wonderful home) today - because my little Yorkie was making his life miserable. The pup thinks the bird is the greatest toy in the world, and I have really snatched the little guy from the jaws of death at least four times. My bird needs to be where he can go in and out of his cage and be happy and feel safe. He is a playful, affectionate, loveable little bird, and I was very devoted to him and loved him a lot - but I had to do what was best and safe for him. I am going to get a new little bird or two that will be happy staying in the cage...finch or canaries...something like that. It's hard and sad to give up any pet. But you have to consider yourself, your pets, and everyone's quality of life in your decision making. Sometimes it's not easy, but it is the responsible and mature thing to do. And please don't let anyone make you feel guilty or try to tell you what to do.
You do what is best for you and think of yourself first!!!
Good luck - Carol Jean |
