| Yes, I actually like it here at night. |
After almost two perfect weeks, Gizmo urinates on the living-room hallway rug, twice. First, just before we go to bed, he hides under bed, far away from us as he can get. When we look under the bed, he gives us his cutest expression and we do not have the heart to remove him.
When we wake up, there is a urine spot on the rug. Twice. Therefore, once again Gizmo goes into cage. There are two nights when his wining at 1 and 3 am wakes me up. I go to him, slam the side of the cage and say in no uncertain terms, "No." Then, eventually, he sleeps through the night.
As soon as I wake up, after unsetting the alarm and getting some water, I free him and let him run out the front door. The result: two accident-free days.

LOL You guys are so cute with this dog. Something you may want to think about is that Gizmo can still smell your other dog and he's just marking his territory in your house--the same way he does outside when he sniffs around.

ReplyDeleteto Carolyn: thank you. It may be. But it is now two weeks without an accident: he roams the house (and re-arranges the pillows and covers on our bed -- what's with that?) when we are gone during the day. At night, he runs into the cage andnot a peep out of him until all is ready in the AM, I unlock the cage and we go directly outside for a long walk. By the way: love your blog. Keep it up.
