Odd thing

[captain]

Ruby has started doing the oddest thing.

It is cold and rainy here at the moment, so at night, if she needs to go to the toilet, she is going just outside the back door and doing her business on the step!!!

Never did this before. Any ideas on how to correct her? I don't catch her in the act ........ only see it in the morning.

Teddy does that too! Sometimes when he's feeling lazy, he'll go on my doormat. I watch him while he goes, and I tell him no and take him to the grass. We are still working on that problem though.

Tonee (RB) cocker did it all the time. She hated walking in the grass if it was too tall or wet or even damp with dew. Once I opened the door for her, she put her head out and peed right in the house on the door way. I miss her terribly... pee and all.
RIP my sweet sweet blond girl.

Glad she is "normal" ....... but Captain never did this, and he HATES walking in the long grass, (actually, sometimes I think he hates walking on grass period).
Will have to TAKE her OUT at night before I go to bed I guess ...

Angus is so lazy sometimes, he pees on the porch

dont worry our penny does it aswell, alot latly as it has been freezing and wet so there is no way she will go all the way to the wet grass *silly lazy girl*

Kito HATES the wet grass--in our old apartment, he used to go out on the porch sometimes, after being walked outside in the rain for an hour
He seems to be adapting well now though, but he does get stubborn about going potty when the grass is wet!!

[captain]

Thanks guys for all the responses ......... glad she is not really abnormal ............ just LAZY!!!!

Neither of mine mind the cold or snow, but if it's raining, forget it! They just turn around and run back in the house and hold it!

I wonder if you put something like a blanket of theirs or a food dish/water dish where he has been going....they don't tend to go potty where they eat or sleep?

Just a thought!
