Hi Amy! I'm so relieved to hear Bu is doing better!! She sounds like a gem of a girl and as one who is involved in Lab rescue, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving her such a WONDERFUL forever home! As for the "accident," I think it may be a combination of several things...a new home, new routine, being sick and you did mentin that she was drinking a lot of water as she recouperates. I'm sure you've been focusing more on her illness than training right now and as soon as she's feeling better, I'm sure that with a little guidance she'll learn to do her "outies" outside! Maybe in the meantime you could gate off the kitchen area and keep her out of the other rooms until you feel she is more reliable? I would try and establish a regular routine for going out and doing potty, praising her when she's done, etc. There are so many others much more knowledgeable in training methods than I. If you continue to have problems, post a thread in "Behavior." I know many would love to share their advice! If you are able, sometime in the future, we would all love to see a picture of Bu! In the meantime, give her a big, big get well hug from me, Star and Cody!! And thank you again for going the rescue route. I know you won't regret it!! Fondly, Sandra
