Posada, we think, has pooped in the house twice today! Neither of the boys had gone in the house in the past week that they've been here and suddenly, today one goes TWICE!
My husband was up late and took them our for a walk around 4. Jude went, Posada didn't. Later in the morning I took them out, fed them and then smelled something foul and found that one had pooped on the rug that their beds are on! And my mom just sent it to us! Not a good scene. Got it out fine though.
I took them out several times, as per usual, today and one extra time to make sure they pooped. Posada didn't so I decided to wait until just before bed. Well, as you can see, I'm up and typing still as I found poop IN the blanket we laid down for them while the rug is drying. I smelled the foul reek again and went sniffing around doggy style for the evidence and found none until a few minutes ago. The dogs, separately, had been laying on the blanket while under a fold was a pile o' poo!
We're quite sure it was Posada as he's the one who hasn't gone all day outside.
I was trying to keep my eye on them as best I could and was only out of the room completely to go to the bathroom myself.
Is this anxiety? Is he acting out? What is his problem!? Our lifestyle doesn't lend itself to me just sitting around staring at him, waiting to catch him and reprimand him. My trust is completely blown and I have to leave them alone tomorrow for several hours! And no, we don't have crates.
Now the poo WAS in approximately the same spot both times though different things were there....now just their beds are there and they DO know not to do it in their own beds right?
I need all the help I can get here!
