That’s quite a buffet!

Cooper is in the dog house. Literally. When i visited my best friend in Kentucky, i put pampers premies on him, since he likes to mark carpet if other pets are/have been there. Now, he’s going on our rugs! He never did that before.

Any tips for potty training (again!) a 10 year old y orkie would be appreciated. I have to redo this about every 5 years. I’m putting him in his crate when he’s not attached to my wrist with a leash. Then we go outside every few hours, where he is handsomely rewarded just for pottying where he should have been going all along. I’m thinking maybe for a week?

I think it could be the change of environment, CB.

Our lil, old pup had a bad day, yesterday.....I think because we had boxes down, from the attic, for tree decorating.

And, hubby had the doors open, installing new lock sets.

Then, the kids came for dinner and it was just too much.....he had two accidents, yesterday. I think it’s just nerves. Not to mention he’s almost completely blind...so, navigating around all of the boxes, and, excitement....was probably too much.

I hope Coop gets back to ‘normal’, soon.

How long has been doing that?

Vinegar has a powerful odor that dogs don’t like. It does a good job of removing any urine smell that might be on your carpeting. Mix an equal amount of white vinegar with water, and spray it in the area where your dog has been peeing on the rug.

When our dog has the runs we give him canned chicken and rice.
Also you can add pumpkin to his food.

Sweet little Cooper. Maybe he needs counseling.
