I Have To Vent!!!

Gosh Janet, I can really understand how maddening it must be! Mine never poop in the house, but they do pee. I can control that with belly bands, but mostly I just wipe it up because we have concrete floors and it is easy to handle. People told me Yorkies are the hardest breed to house break - that they may always pee/poop in the house, and I have to say that I don't think I will ever break mine completely from peeing. We love them dearly and so have adapted the house to accommodate the sprinkles. I must say it is not a big puddle, only a few drops that I find scattered around. And then I only have 2, so that helps!

Hmmmm eating poop - isn't there something that you can put into their food that makes the poop not appetizing? I think I have heard that.

I am lucky, mine only bark when the dog next door barks or when someone comes to the door. I have been around barky dogs and it would be very difficult to tolerate. I'm just lucky in that respect.

I know the obnoxious behaviors get on your nerves more when you are under a lot of stress, that is normal. I know you love them dearly too - but sometimes........
