I tried a crate. She totally freaked out. She must have some history with them -- I've just got it sitting in the middle of the room now, and when she's wandering around, she won't go near it.

I'm letting her sleep for now, and I'll either take her out or take her to the papers before heading to bed. It doesn't really help that I'm not doing my best today, either -- I got almost no sleep last night, because she was whining, and I've been too stressed out to eat today.

I'm sorry it's been rough. You'll get through it, and hopefully her adorableness is compensating.

I would take her out, because you don't want her getting used to the papers.

Oh, Hil. I was such a freakout new doggy mom when I got Frankie. Just ask bonny about my frantic emails! I hope you both sleep better tonight.

I haven't found a place yet and tomorrow is the walk through and my packing motivation has disappeared .

Oh sumi, how stressful.

OK, this time, I caught her just as she was starting to pee, and carried her over to the pad, where she finished. There was no way I would have been able to get her to the door in that amount of time. I also put a pad down in the back corner of the room, because she's peed there twice, and I figure it might protect the carpet.

She also spent about five minutes rolling onto her back and flailing her legs in the air, not in the usual doggy way that she usually does, but kind of spasmish. I don't know what that means.

Epic, much ~ma for your BFF's husband.

Epic, tons of ~ma for your friends boyfriend.

Oh, I forgot one VERY IMPORTANT product,Hil Nature's Miracle. You want to use it clean anywhere your pup pees that they shouldn't and do it immediately and thoroughly.Just soap and water will not get rid of the scent and she will pee there again. Another hint is to take a pee pad she's used and put it outside where you want her to pee before you take her out there.
