Hello all. I've done some searching on this and I think I may have a possible answer, but I wanted to state my case and see if there was any other reason that this could be happening.
Rosie is my 7 month old. She is not spayed yet. We got her when she was about 3-1/2 months old. Every so often she'll go through episodes where she'll pee in our bed. Sometimes multiple times in a night. Maynard, our 2 year old has been sleeping with us since we got him. I know some say its not the best thing, but we just couldn't stand to hear him cry all whine all night because he missed us and he was scared. So when we got Rosie, it was natural to let her sleep with us too. Anyway, more often times than not, right after my wife puts new sheets on the bed, Rosie will sneak into the bed room and pee on the bed, sometimes immediately after she has been out to pee. Sometimes on my wife's side, sometimes on mine. Sometimes she'll do it in the middle of the night when we're sleeping. She is house broken and doesn't seem to pee anywhere else in the house but in the bed. Sometimes she'll go a week or 10 days without doing it, but then she'll do it 10 times in a week!
My hypochondriac wife insists that she has some kind of UTI or something, but I'm almost certain its a behavioral/dominating thing. She constantly tries to dominate Maynard by stealing his toys and biting at his feet, sometimes even mounting him. I think we're going to start being more assertive and not allow her into the bed until she stops the dominating behavior.
So I guess my question is, do I have this right? Do you all think it's a dominating/behavioral thing, or could it be something else? Anyone have a similar experience? Any advice to offer?
Thank you
