Janet Janet Janet.....you must be my long lost sister lol. I have never had a breed like these either. This winter has been the worst! Lucy goes outside then comes back inside and poops, sometimes like you said it is smeared where she apparantly plays with it/eats it before I see it. I have fed mine pineapple in the past for this terrible habit. I have two that never go potty inside the house but Lucy is a different story. Then the barking.........they have gotten horrible about this! Every little sound or when someone drives by the house or someone knocks on the door or they hear another dog outside or the phone rings, the list goes on and on. Starting today...when one starts the barking(the others always join in) they all go outside, maybe we can teach them that barking means you need to go outside, I dunno but we are gonna try to see if this can stop some of the barking. We have tried the pennies in a can, an ultrasonic debarker(huge waste of money) yelling at them(yeah right. like they know why you're po'd)
I know what you mean....I love mine and could not part with my 3 older ones but I don't want another one and I don't want to keep this puppy if I can find her a great home.
Good luck girl!! Hopefully things will calm down a little, you will feel less stress and be able to deal with the furbutts.
