No More Tomorrows

Hope easily navigates the doggie door and goes in and out on her own. So why does she still prefer to pee on the carpet instead of the grass? She will, in fact, come in from outside to take care of business in the house.

Neither GB nor I are equipped for handling this. That's why we adopt adult dogs who have good house manners. We thought Hope was one of these dogs. Our original agreement was to keep her a few days, while her foster mom was out of town, to see if she was a fit for our family. She's been with us four days extra. For over a week we tried and failed to house train her. Every day we hoped today would be the day she would "get it." At the end of each disappointing day, we hoped the same for tomorrow.

Tonight we are so very sad. Tomorrow morning we return her to her foster mom.

  1. Sad, but totally understandable. At her age she may never "get it", and it could lead to Beau misbehaving. She will find a forever home eventually! Leslie
