Pee on the carpet season is on again ! Last year, some will remember I had bought a carpet that run through the hall for the dogs to enjoy running on, since they don’t go outside when it’s cold.
At the end of the winter, in april or may, I had discovered both the hallway and doorway carpet had huge urine stains in many areas. I threw both in the garbage and cleaned the whole floor thoroughly. Since it was summer, I put down my small carpet near the door.
Winter is here again so I bought a brand new winter carpet for the doorway and cut it to fit perfectly.
Tonight, I had an intuition and looked underneath it (can’t see the urine from the top since it’s black). There it was, a huuuuuuuge piddle of urine that completely soaked through it. In the garbage it went. Again. Sigh.
I am so pissed right now I feel like I want nothing to do with dogs anymore. Those two are my last ones. No more.
I don’t know if Beckie did it during the night (she hasn’t done that in a year or if Merlin did it out of anxiety when he had to stay home alone twice this week). I don’t want to deal with belly bands and doggy diapers all winter so I put up the baby gate and they won’t have access to the carpet area when I’m away and during the night.
It really is a pain in the b... but what else can I do ? Small dogs are soooo hard to keep from peeing carpet, it is their biggest fault. No matter how well I train them, since they’ve been raised places where they learned to pee on soft bedding and carpets, it’s imprinted in their brain and it seems like you can’t erase it. They can be good for months and months, years even. But bring a carpet and BAM !
Anyways, I’m fed up with them right now. Both of them.
