Okay today I am just going to do a update on little Miss Mildred as a few things have changed, We have moved and she knows the house very well and is normally very good.
But lately she has started to poo in the house and gee it's not that big of a problem but it's still annoying lucky she is cute and her poos are small so I just pick them up and flush them away in to the dark unknown! So I have started to do the alarm training again so every hour we go outside and I place her on the toilet and say go wee wee or go poo poo she will wee no problems but getting her to poo on command is a little difficult. She like to poo near the spa now yes its outside but not on the toilet baby steps and least she is not pooping in the house yay that's I small victory to say the least. I was thing it's because of her furbrother
Sir George and it smells like him so I am going to get her a toilet of her own and put it near the spa as that's where she is going to the toilet at the moment. Chihuahuas are a hard breed to potty train anyway and I thought I was out of the woods but we have been given a curve ball and we are dealing with it. She is so smart and picks up new tricks very easily so I am thinking we will so have this in the past. The key is not to get angry as its really not her fault. Did any of you have this problem? As I think it is a common problem with most dogs when they are used to a regular routine. Many changes have happened like now
Miss Mildred and Sir George sleep out the back not in the cold we have a games room where we spend most of our time so they have a aircon beds toys and access to outside if they wish to go out there. We decided to do this as Miss Mildred was barking at midnight and then again at thee in the morning just to go and get a drink of water or because she could her the kids gaming in the bedroom next door it was like having a toddler again we went through this for a month and because my Monster works twelve hour shifts it was becoming a problem with broken sleep for me. I just wasn't having a restful sleep and I was getting grumpy. I felt so bad for making the furbabys sleep in the back room. What I forgot to mention was when Miss Mildred wanted to go out I had to carry her downstairs so she would not wee on the floor as everyone knows when a puppy wakes up in my experience they will need to wee so I wouldn't let her touch the floor just in case she might wee. I believe it was just a habit she had formed. So now when we get ready for bed our beautiful sweet little furbabys jump into their own beds and wait for us to tuck them in and it's much better as we are all getting a better sleep and it's has helped the furbabys remember that they are dog are are lower in the pack then us. Because dog are really good at training their humans to do what they want us to do. So Miss Mildred and Sir George are happier and more content with the control shift dig like to know their place in the pack and they like rules and boundaries it makes for a happy home.
So little Miss Mildred has started to become a even better furbaby just by changing a few little things in her day to day life and gee a new more in control puppy I now have. I was so guilty with myself because I was not allowing the furbabys to sleep in our room or should I say our bed but look at the photo above they don't look half mistreated do they hmmm, Nope look very happy and comfortable they are up in the morning at 4.30am as I make Monsterface his breakfast and cuppa tea before he goes to work so then the furbabys come and have a nanna nap with me in the bed (but don't tell Monsterface) After having
Miss Mildred in the bed with me for over a year it was just like putting your baby in to the cot or in to their own bedroom and gee my boys Zachary and Quentin both slept with me until they went into big boy beds at the age of four or so. And it's just a habit I passed on to
Miss Mildred naughtie Miss Squeak! Chihuahuas love to be warm and loved having her smuggling up to me but now I have my Monster to cuddle at night and our furbabys have each other. And I don't have to get up three times a night to sort Miss Mildred out because now if she wants a wee or a drink she can have one yay!
