Nio does not get the run of the kitchen like the other two. I close him in the entryway with a baby gate.<BR/><BR/>I came back 2 hours later to discover that he had marked (i.e., peed on) every side of the entryway, plus on the gate for good measure. This wasn't a housetraining accident, it was deliberate spraying.<BR/><BR/>Now you know why he doesn't get the run of the kitchen. He's marked inside the house a time or two, but never anything like that. To be fair, I'm pretty sure Kobi had a seizure while I was gone and that probably upset him. Still, I consider that behavior completely intolerable. Unless it turns truly arctic outside, he's only coming inside to sleep until further notice.<BR/><BR/>Poor guy, he spent the first 2 years of his life completely outdoors, so it's not really his fault he's such a rube. Marking is a seriously ingrained habit once a dog is an adult. The trouble is, he really wants to be inside with us, he howls in misery if he's excluded. But I will live in the yard myself before I will live in a house that reeks of dog urine.<BR/><BR/>So, Leo, still want to dogsit?BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-11902557984913000512008-01-17T16:08:00.000-06:002008-01-17T16:08:00.000-06:00Tell!
