Well, we are in a bad place again Crate training got us two 3 month blocks of perfect litter box usage (had to do a week in the crate in between.) Now, since July, Tiny's relationship with the box has been hit or miss (haha:-/), and for the last two or three weeks, it's been accidents mixed in with litter box usage. I've experimented with adding more boxes in the places where she has accidents, trying new litter, making trails of treats that lead to her litter boxes, treating her after she's used her box. The changes seemed to be working well until yesterday, when she stopped using her box and had three accidents in a 12 hour period. So she's back in the crate. I feel horrible because she doesn't understand, and I know she's not going through a cystitis flare up bc of the frequency of her bathroom activity, so she feels good and wants to socialize! It's such a beautiful fall day and she just wants to hang out on the back deck, but instead she's locked in her crate. Oh Tiny. If I had a super power it would be to read your mind. I think she just really doesn't care and prefers to use the floor. Hopefully some crate time will get her back in the habit of using her box.
Thanks for listening!
