| Pooped with the PEE today... need to vent UGHH!! I KNOW they are only 11 weeks old... so I dont expect too much and granted they are doing VERY well for only that many weeks. BUT COME ON!!!! 2 dogs are a lot of work.... PRADA is just poopin me out cause she CRIES and is such a big baby. Lexi... so much easier going and she goes out to pee and poop no problem. Prada takes forever... rarely goes and then ends up going inside. <sigh>

| Ha... not meaning to really laugh at your frustration, just thought how funny they mimic children going through their potty training. I hope it gets better for you. Hang in there!

| I hear you! I got Bailey & Buster when they were 11 weeks old, and it has been much more work than I had anticipated, but worth it! Hang in there, it gets better (so long as you are consistent with them). I learned not to rush them going potty outside, because a couple of times I made them come in when they weren't ready & they went potty in the house right after I let them in - but since I made them come in, it wasn't really their fault, I just rushed them. Now I tell them, "Go potty, come inside" and if they come to the door, I let them in. If they don't come to the door, they are most often still trying to find a spot to go, or they've just been playing so much that they forgot they were supposed to go, so it's a good reminder to get them to go potty & then come inside. Bailey does what I call her "poop dance" before she goes, so it usually takes her a lot longer to go potty than Buster. They do take patience, but I can honestly say that they have helped me develop more patience than I thought I would ever have. Hope you have the same experience - hang in there, it gets better!!

| Im sorry your having a rough day! When I think about how hard it is, or if Ranger decided to poop somewhere and I find it hours or days later. I just think about how they are like children and it will take time and how I love him so much that I WILL NOT give up on him. He is cute more times than he is bad, so I have to forgive him lol
