I just don't have time to read every issue of DD so here goes again plus I have
old-timers disease.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ozark Mountain Basset Rescue has recently had a
petite female five year old relinquishment that is very sweet and loving.
Problem is she pees and occasionally poops in the house even with a doggie
door. I wasn't told this by the lady that had her but I expect it is the
reason she came into rescue. The husband was fed up but I didn't know what
about. I put her in a new foster home and the poor lady is a RN and gone
sometimes 9 hours a day and she would come home to puddle after puddle on her
hardwood floor and remember, she has a doggie door. I chalked it up to
separation anxiety, and still do to a degree, but I have her now, she still has
a doggie door and 3 good examples to follow (Jake, Maxx & Myrtle) and as I
walked around my bed last night, in my carpet, my foot went "squish".

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>She really seems intelligent but has a 5 year old
habit she has apparently been allowed to get away with or she has some other
issue? No UTI by the way. What do I do? I've been in rescue for 8 years
and cleaned up a lot of pee but not from a 5 year old that has been an inside
dog?</FONT></DIV>
