I sure need your help today with some encouragement .
Puddles was born 3/13/04 and we have had him for 3 weeks now. He has yet to tell me he needs to go potty. Never once has he messed up his crate, so I know he can hold it.
Example of this morning:
Went to potty outside and was a good boy.
Gave him a treat and praised him.
Feed him his breakfast and some water.
He played with his toys for 30 minutes saw him sniffing, so out side we went again.....nothing.
Back in house with no treat.
Started to play again, up and down the hall with cat.
The very next thing I know, bang !!
My sweet Puddles had went to the potty (in hall).
I was right in the next room. No bark....nothing.
Ok, experienced ones, that the heck am I doing wrong?? Should I give up with going outside and try paper/ pads?
Now great, guess whos looking up at me with pitty.. yup..Puddles.
h34r:
Hes making me feel like the guilty one.
I have put up the food and water, will wait until this afternoon to give him more. Have been trying to stay on an eating schedule.
Puddles is such a pleasure to us, but this messing on the floor is really getting on my last nerve.
Thanks for allowing me to vent this morning.
