Surprise, Surprise..

Nope, the only linoleum we have is the bathroom. When I say my place is small, I mean [i]small[/b]. EVERYTHING is in one room lol. But its not a studio lol. Its soooo tiny in here. And the bathroom is maybe 4 x 5, including the shower and toilet. So not much room to lock her up in, and I feel horrible for doing so.

But it's probably about the size of a crate where there is flooring, right? And putting a dog in a crate isn't cruel. I mean, you could put her bed in the bath tub at night time and she could sleep in there, and then put a water bowl out on the linoleum.

Hey, yeah, that's an awfully good point. I just suppose I'd thought that locking a dog in a room versus a crate where they can actually see what's going on, etc, was a tad bit more 'cruel' in my book in a sense. Then again since I've never had a crate I wouldn't have known to compare lol anyway thanks, I don't feel AS horrible about it now, maybe we'll set camp up there for her overnight

I like the bed in the bath tub idea. She'll probably not be too pleased about it at first but it's not awful, and it's only temporary. Make sure she doesn't hurt herself getting in and out though.

haha, when Cagney was sick my parents insisted that he stayed in the bathroom so I set up a bed for myself in the tub so I could be with him

LOL I don't have a tub though, only a stand-up shower. But I suppose tossing in an old blanket or a few towels on one side would work fine.

That's probably even better, then, because she won't hurt herself getting in and out.

And you're welcome. I can be a genius sometimes

I wanted to thank whoever suggested the depends. They worked fine overnight! Though sometimes she would push them to the side to clean herself (which was GOOD - I WANTED her to clean herself), she kept them on overnight and I didn't even have to put her in the bathroom.

Though I have noticed she is SO much more lovable and snuggly now that this has been going on. More with HJ though than with me. It's so adorable. She HAD to sleep between us last night, or up by HJ's chest and watching TV she slowly crawled up in his lap, and just LAYED there. It was so adorable. It's a shame I'm going to get her fixed because she's so cute right now LOL

Yay glad it worked How sweet, she's being all lovable - hate for it to end!
