Awww no is Sally alright? What have the vets said? Hope she gets well soondsbhj;.'?

(that last bit was trio stomping on the keyboard - I think she was saying "get well soon" in doggy language!)

*hugs for Sally*

Blackstar - all of my previous doggies have always pooped in a specific area in the garden (ie on the stones to the side of the house/by the garage) and they've all been fine

(when I say specific, it's a reasonably large area they had to do it on but an obvious area if you know what I mean. We've always been lucky to have quite reasonably sized gardens on different levels so it was kinda easy to make an area their domain

) I obviously don't want to give her a complex but if she poopies in one area then I will reward her more so than others! She's really good and if you say to her "Do a wee wee" she will either wee wee or poo poo if she needs to, so I tend to prompt her in a certain area! I'm sure she'll do fine!

At the moment she's being a bit of a terror - running up the stairs when she knows she's not allowed to and is pulling things off the sofa and chewing them.

This all tends to happen when I'm not playing with her and am either making lunch/brekky/cuppa or trying to do 10mins worth of work. She gets played with a lot - I try and run around a lot in the garden and play fetch and things - but I'm trying my best to teach her that I will need me time too so I can do work! She's got a nice handful of toys so I figured she would be happy to play for 5-10mins by herself... but noooo she likes to be nawty and get attention!

Tempted to ignore her if she runs upstairs now - all the doors are shut up there so it's not like she'll get into any nawtyness!

Aww she's currently picking up fluff from our carpet

At this rate I will be able to make my hoover redundant!
