Silly Darby... peeing and pooping in the house isn't cool!

i'm working on housebreaking her now. apparently she never was... excellent!

the other big problem is that the peeing is only when i go away for a few hours (so it's my punishment)... i might have to crate her when i go out for a while until she learns not to pee in my bedroom when i leave (and that i wll come back). which of course means buying a crate (or finding one that i can borrow that's the right size). i think i'll make that one of my adventures today.

aside from that things here are going well. went on a date saturday with a cutie... taking her out again weds. i've got friends coming up this weekend for a "small" party (well if they all don't bail on me last second sonsabitches!). oh and most importantly i go for my road test tomorrow afternoon to get my drivers license back! woohoo! i will be legally driving again... lol. you know i'm gonna be taking roadtrips!

so, questions of the day:

if you have a dog what was the most successful method of housebreaking them that you used?

AND

if i decide to take a decent roadtrip who wants me to come visit them, sleep on their couch and eat all their food? LOL

You said you found her while working at a dog shelter or something, right? ... I don't know what type of kennels you guys used, but the boarding area in the vet I worked at, some of the dogs could barely move.. they had enough room to turn around, and get to their food and water and lay down, but yah.. though sometimes tiny dogs were in the big runs.. it depended on what the owner wanted. But it's humane enough, if that's your concern, so long as it's not for too long.. of course, I still feel bad closing my one cat in only one room while I go away for a few days. *shrug*

Let me know if you get anything to work.. my livingroom rug is almost done for, but I can't even steamclean and work with my cat till the other one finds a new home. frown

You're certainly more than welcome to drive up here for a visit...but I would probably get you a hotel room to keep you from eating me out of house and home. wink

I find myself taking the occasional power nap, too, especially on days off. We are getting rather old. Ugh. As for the landmines - they aren't the sort that blow up legs or such; they just make my day a little less bearable. And sleepless.

Glad to hear that your date went well.
