Peed in the house

[mon]

I'm give'n Mikey the benefit of the doubt! Dude had to pee One time thing fer sure

I bet he just had to pee. I would praise him many times over for the next several pees outside and maybe he will forget he even did it this once. Prue has accidents every now and then and it is usually when I have been gone for many hours and she just can't wait. I never yell at her because it's my fault!

I wouldn't worry about it.

I agree with the others, one time thing.

These small dogs have small bladders. My flock can only hold it for about 5 hours, and that is if I make sure I send them out to do 'busies' right before I leave.

I am sure it was a one-time - "gotta go!" incident, as longs as you completely cleaned it up, I am sure it will not become habit!

I'm with everyone who is giving Mikey the benefit of the doubt. When you have to "go"...

I agree! Little dude just had to pee! He tried to hold it! LOL

I'm thinking this was such an anomaly with definable circumstances (being left alone for 8 hours and drinking all his water!), he just couldn't hold it. I don't think he'll make a habit of it

PS: My girl is routinely left alone for 8 hours at a time as well while the BF and I are away at work. Neither of us live close enough to let her out at lunch. We crate her while we're gone and if she has ever had an accident it was because we left her too long (which she hasn't had an accident in years besides her incontinence but that's a different story).
