I think Millie hates me.

I think Millie hates me. Why? Because right after going out for a walk in which she refused to potty, she comes in to the house, jumps up on the guest bed, and maliciously, pre-meditatively, dumps on my clothes laying out on the bed. I mean seriously Millie. I suppose we have entered the spiteful teenage years? Has your pup ever pooped on your bed? Not just that they were sleeping there then decided they had to go, but rather they sought it out and determined it was the perfect toilet?

  1. When Gus was a puppy he pooped on a sofa pillow laying on the floor. We always wondered if he did it because he knew he wasn't supposed to poop on the floor, but maybe thought the pillow was okay? Puppies are fun...but frustrating at times. Good luck!

  2. I have been lucky in the poop department. Both C&L have messed in the house, but I can mark it up to leaving them to long. Cooper on the other hand will spray at times when he feels ignored.

  3. Lori - I think Gus thought he was doing the right thing! It was a valiant effort. You are right, puppies can be frustrating (and shih tzus are particularly stubborn and difficult to housebreak - they say it can take over a year!), but I wouldn't change it for the world. With all the aggravation that comes from constantly cleaning up her "accidents" (in quotes because I don't know that they are in fact accidents, but perhaps intentional), all the happiness she brings far outweighs the negatives.

    Cooper & Lola - You are definitely lucky if you haven't had such an instance! I believe pups definitely act out when they feel neglected in some way - and Millie definitely loves to show her disapproval by pottying in the house!
