Where he was clean. :devil: :ermm: :unsure: I had some sickness and the runs go through the dogs early in the month, so he was moved downstairs because he couldn't hold it in. Since being downstairs, even after the virus has (finally) fled the house he's weeing and pooing every night. Completely ignoring the newspaper and puppy pads all over the place. I'm half convinced it's a separation issue, as he'll poo indoors if I go upstairs for more than about 30 mins even if the back door is open, although he'll only do it if he hasn't had a walk, and when he was sleeping upstairs he would go downstairs and poo in the hall. One night I slept downstairs and he was clean all night. So really have no idea what he's doing. Sadly since the illness when he had an accident in his crate overnight, and then again a couple of days later in a car crate he's lost all inhibitions about crapping in his crate so I can't crate him overnight now. He's also had his tea time changed from 6-7pm to 4-5 and that's made no difference. So I'm afraid he's now having to sleep all on his tod in the kitchen. I didn't want to bring him back upstairs after the illness as I'm sick of him waking me up to bark at noises in the garden. I've been very busy working extra shifts and earlier mornings and I can't cope if he's keeping me awake. Now I don't want him up as I'm just sick of cleaning up his mess. I don't mind 'accidents' (even when Beauty was also ill and flooded the kitchen with unpleasantness) but that's not what this is.
