Tinker and her crate

Hello all, take note, its 2 days in a row : )

ok, so Tink stays in her crate for a good portion of the day. She has her bed like thing in the back (a crate shammy thing or a blanket over a towel or something) and papers in the front because she pees no matter what and I want her to not have to sit in it all day. We have a water bowl, but she almost always knocks it over. So now we have the water bottle that she won't drink from. She not only pees on the papers but more often than not she still pees on her bedding. Any one know how to curb her of that? I dont mind washing it, i just don't like that she sits in it all day. We've been working on the whole, don't make a big deal out of her when we leave or come back. Just wondering... (i know, i am soliciting advice.... give at your own will : ) Maybe she's just destined to smell like pee forever. I don't call her Princess Pee for nothing!

She's my little snuggle muffin... it gets harder and harder to put her in her bed at night... I love my snuggle time with her... which is why i love the weekends!!

I've been "preparing" her for Easter weekend already!!! We have long chats about how she needs to be nice to aunty aby because if it weren't for aby she wouldn't be here with us today! and we talk about how she doesn't need to like the dogs, she just needs to tolerate them and not scratch any body's eyes out. I dont foresee the one eyed dog coming into vogue any time soon....

Speaking of one eyed dogs... on the WOOF! board that i am addicted to (well notoriously stalk) someone had their dogs picture stolen and used to sell puppymill dogs so a big thing about watermarks and protecting your photos when around... i was trying to figure out how to watermark my photos too and then i realized a dog with one eye is pretty well marked already. I dont think people will be trying to sell other dogs with Tinks pics as perfect and beautiful as she is to us. Well, I found it humorous anyways : )

Tink sends her love to everyone... she hasn't met too many new people recently and is waiting to meet her grandparents!!!

Have you had her checked for UTI? Assuming you have... how about spraying some of that "no-go" stuff on her bedding that makes dogs NOT want to pee there? Can't remember the name off hand... maybe that would make her not want to use her bed, though...

Consider uncrating, and leaving in a small area, bedding in one place, food/water in another, toilet area in another??

Consider putting the "business" end of the water bottle in something yummy (peanut butter around the outside?) - maybe she doesn't understand how to use it?

thoughts.... ah, Sunday morning.... the mind wanders...
