I COMPLETELY agree! My older male yorkie, Hobbs, has not used the bathroom in the house for MONTHS! But, ever since we brought Hootie home last Sunday, he has been going to the bathroom in the house like he is a puppy again.
I think that he, like Parker, may just want some attention, even if it is negative attention they receive by going potty in the house. Since Hobbs started going potty inside again, we have really been having to show him LOTS of attention. When he goes potty outside, we REALLY praise him. Try doing that with Parker. Try showing him lots of love and attention and let him know that even though you have a new baby, that you still love him! Maybe let your hubby take over responsibilities for the new one for awhile and let you concentrate on Parker. I think that he just needs some reassuring...
GOOD LUCK with whatever comes of it all. If it makes you feel better, whenever my husband gets frustrated with the dogs, he says that we should give them away. I just ignore him and he gets over it really quickly. Sometimes men just say things they don't mean. Maybe he is just saying that to get you to really work on getting Parker trained. Through the next couple of weeks, focus your attention on getting Parker trained. When the 9th rolls around, act like nothing has happened. If your hubby brings up the fact that you have to "give him away" on that day, tell him that you thought he was kidding!
