Kiki's White Trash and or Nerdy Birthday Bash Funeral

I had one that abused it a bit, too, but I'd rather he go out a few extra times than leave a surprise in the front hallway! I don't think Crazy Dog will ever learn the bell trick, though. She's just too ADHD. Luckily, she's in and out a LOT and is very good in the house. Her "accidents" aren't of the potty type. They're more boredom- or sulk-induced ... "Hey, naptime's over but the door's still closed. Let's destroy this pile of papers on the far back corner of the desk ... then we can drag the cat box around the living room for a bit ... C'mon ... it'll be FUN!"

That’s true!! Although with Gator he was constantly wanting to go in and out all day and he didn’t even have a bell lol oh I wanna go out wait no I don’t wait yes I do

And oh gosh!!! Does she have a crate? Did you ever get that book?

You may have gotten mine. I have lost about 20 lbs. and 3" around the middle. The fat layer on my belly has gotten so thin that I have no trouble feeling the nylon mesh in my belly holding my guts in.

That must be annoying or uncomfortable!?

Read the book. Disney mangled it.

They usually do!

See, I like the idea of it theoretically especially since I love hiking so much but just not sure I could do it physically maybe if I get a bit more in shape first I could!

Short hikes & build up. Take the dog for a walk!

Yuppp!! Although I haven’t been walking as much lately aha DB & SIL have been working from home so haven’t needed me as much though I did watch them the whole day Saturday and take them on some walks

Oh and I’m now pretty sure cool Aunt Beauty is going broody so I guess she does want her own babies after all either that or she just wanted to lay near her “family” lol

I finally caved and bought the damn baby gates @BantyChooks
Spent all day yesterday deep cleaning the carpets. It's too much for him, I don't know what we expected. He lives on the kitchen tiles now.
So yea, we are essentially doing a hard reset on potty training. My kitchen entrances are jam packed with boxes until the gates arrive.. an obnoxious symbol of my failure.

Evolution is not a failure. You just evolved to a new approach.

Oh no! I’m thinking maybe he’s somehow conditioned himself to thinking the carpet is a toilet? So I’m thinking it might help to maybe go back to basics a bit with him and retrain tomorrow break that association? and in the meantime maybe tethered to you or in a crate or baby gated room?

This is really good advice, Kelsey.
