I agree with Karen. Start again from the begining put her out every 2 hrs or when you think of it. When I was training Mercedes I would run with her up the grass I heard this makes them wanna go potty (it worked), dunno if it's true though LOL. Maybe tell the elderly couple you'd really love to keep her so your gonna try something new and say if it doesn't work out would you still be willing to take her... People can be really understanding in situations like this it also shows your not just giving up on her. Crate or lock her in one room during the day that way if there is any accidents it's all in one place easier to find/clean up. You have to be consistant though remember to keep putting her out if not she will just go back to old habits. If you work in the day put her out before you go early enough that if she doesn't do anything that she has to stay out till she does. Also try and come home for lunch to let her out or if you can't see if hubby can. You both have to work as a team at this. Good luck I hope I've helped.
edit: oh yeah maybe until she's trained pick up her water so she's not continually drinking all day when your gone or sleeping it may help if she's peeing a lot. Just be sure to let her drink when you get home and before she goes out in the am...
