Hi All,
New to the site and this is my first post and of course I have to start with a concern on peeing behavior. Here goes:
I've spend a lot of time with Fergie and of course she loves it. However, some days I have appointments or things to take care of where she has to stay home alone. There have been only a handful of times that she has wet her bed and usually I find that it is circumstantial (i.e., she has done it when I leave home shortly after I arrive and don't play with her or walk her b/c I'm pressed for time. I'll come home to discover she has wet her bed or in the a.m. next day). So, my concern really is about this being a behavioral problem. Does anyone else find that their beloved bullie acts out this way when they don't get the attention they seek sometimes? Is this normal behavior? It happens if she doesn't get something she wants also. E.g., I let her spend the night in bed with me on my birthday and the following night she slept in her bed. That following night she wet her bed. I'm pretty sure it was b/c she was expecting to sleep in my bed again.
Again, she does not wet her bed at all and when she has it usually involves me not spending time with her in some way or form. I have had the vet check her out for infection or some other congenital urethra problem but she is good health wise. I find it strange that she does this b/c my concern is if one day I have to go away for a few days and leave her with family, I don't want to burden them with her rebellious attention seeking peeing. I have heard from some people that leaving a shirt with my scent may help. She does not wet her bed when the cover is washed or any other time. The only correlation I've been able to make is that she wants attention or is not happy about something not going her way.
Anyone have a similar experience?
