Oh Ann............ Your Tina has always been one of my favorite PT Goldens; such a beautiful girl. It breaks my heart to read how very sad you are. When did her potty issues start? Have you talked to her vet? I'm thinking that otherwise she is healthy and doing ok; active and happy? When our doggies get older, (as with humans!!) it gets harder for them to "hold it" and control their bodily functions. Have you tried adjusting her feeding schedule and her free access to water, like taking the water bowl up after dinner time? Taking her out frequently? I think perhaps she gets lots of outdoor time already. Has she had any change in her diet that make her poop more often? Why not repost this in Dog Health so that a lot more of the dog people will see it. I'm sure a lot of people will want to offer their help and support. It's breaking my heart to hear how sad you are
