I can have her outside 15 minutes and she does not go, then as soon as she is in the house she piddles or poops. Some days are better and some days are bad. I just don't know what to do. She does hold her bladder all night. I do have a puppy paper in the Master bathroom in case she does get up at nite and I don't hear her. She also has this other problem of licking everything. It almost drives us crazy sometimes. I usually put earplugs in at nite so I don't hear her, or I wouldn't get any sleep. Somedays it is worse than others. Any suggestions? How long do I wait until I make that decision. Any Advice???

They are putting their sweet 14 year old Millie down tomorrow morning. Please say a prayer for my sis, bil, and Millie. Also her buddy Bandit will really miss her, they have been attached at the hip since my sister rescued him as a pup 5 years ago.

My avatar is my dog - Her name is Floppy, she's a chilhuahua-cocker spaniel mix, she weighs 13 lbs. and she is 18-1/2 years old and not on any meds. And yes, our lives revolve around her but my husband and I agree, she's earned that privilege.

That is Katy in my avatar. Our son gave her to us for our birthdays, Dec 2 & 3. Our last dog died over a year ago, Betsy lived to be almost 16. The house sure seemed lonesome with a dog, so our son got us Katy, she is a Pekingese. Just a little sweetheart. Our cat Annie, loves her too.

The first should be of "Angel" my son's Catahoula or as we affectionately call her, Hell's Angel". Too smart for her own good.
The second should be of my other son's Rottie, Lexie, smiling for her photo, sho thinks that any visitor to the house is for her & not us.
The third is Lexie with Kadee, our MinPin who went to doggie Heaven last year after being diagnosed with severe diabetes...
They are supposed to be my Grand-dogs, but they live with "Grammie" & they know who feeds them!
Happy quilting & happy 4th of July

Here is my baby. He is a 2 1/2 yr old, Blue Great Dane. His name is Mortimer Bluebear. He weights in at 160 right now, which is his summer weight. He is very gentle, and has the run of the place. He always winds up in bed with us sometime in the middle of the night.

This pic is several years old because that dog, they're all basenjis, in the pot has since died. That pot was on our deck holding a beautiful group of flowers but Spicer thought it looked like it would make a good bed
Right now we have 5 basenjis. They don't bark, are originally from Africa, and are descrbed as the dog for people who like cats. They have many catlike qualities: they have no dog odor even when wet, they lick themselves clean (but usually on the couch), and to try to get them to follow any commands we have to teach them that what we want them to do, that's what they wanted to do in the first place. Like cats, they have an attitudeof being far superoir to any humans, they just put up with us
