Hi Jill, I know I went off subject but got there because of crating or playpening causing or not causing real tears...which may or may not cause goo... Now the toilet bowl comes up, good point, see, I was worried about electric cords and I would have never thought of toilet bowls and Chloe would have wandered there. Right now, if she goes poopoo on her wee wee pad, (she tells on herself) she comes running (like a herd of elephants) to let me know she went poo, then as I get the kleenex to pick it up, she runs to the toilet knowing I let her watch the poo flush. Maybe I will get in the habit now, so when she is out of puppy stages and Gramma's gone, she can then have the run of the house. Anyway I have "peace of mind" when I am at work knowing she is not into anything, just sad cause I think she is crying tears and I know she would rather be sitting on the couch or bed until I got back. When she was being Houdini (escaping from her playpen before I put the top on it) That's all she did was sit and wait for me. (that I know of anyway ha ha)
