I have to agree with the above members, if a dog pee, poops where ever, it is from owner not properly training the dog.Now this baby is a senior 14 1/2 yo, more then likely she is losing control of her bladder which you would not know because she has made where ever she wanted to most all her life. She is a senior and needs YOU, YOUR LOVE and understanding, and YOUR PATIENCE more now because she is going through changes that is confusing to her. My last girl, I raised her from a 8 week old puppy, she was properly house broken, I loved and enjoyed all those healthy, happy, frisky days, then at 14 yo she started loosing her sight, then her hearing, around 15 1/2 yo she started losing bladder control and peed where ever she stood. Came a time her vision was very bad, she could not see to jump off the bed, so I slept in my home office on a futon, it was lower then my bed, she was able to get off, 6 months later she couldn't even manage that, so she slept in her doggie bed with my hand in it so she would know I was close to her. Then dementia set in, she would go between the chairs under the kitchen table and not know how to get out, so I took all the chair but one away. From 14 to 17 yo no sight, no hearing, dementia, I would hold her, cuddle her, held her tight so she would know momma loved her more each day. At 17 yo I had to let her go, her organs were breaking down, I thought I would die that day. For me, when I take a dog into my life it is like the wedding vow " in sickness and health till do us part". I am appalled that you can say "The things I love about a dog I don't have with her" it isobvious you don't care for this little girl, if you felt like that you should have re-homed when she was younger and more adoptable, not at the age of 14 1/2 when she needs you the most, now you want to put her down because "I can't stand it anymore". As long as she is eating and drinking, not in ant pain, I cannot see this dog being euthanized just because you are tired of cleaning up after her. It's YOUR FAULT the dog pees and poops all over, YOU were not consistent in her potty training, this is way we have so many dogs in shelters. Owners need training in how to train a dog.
