yeah, and she is really good when we're around. It's when we aren't home that she makes problems.
Crate her, thats what we do.
My dog is a carpet muncher

she knows she can always run to uncle mikes house where she can have all the treats she wants and stay up past her bedtime and watch tv shows that advise parental discretion
I ruined the carpet long before with my ferrets so I imagine it's not really a big deal.
Between the ferret stains and my coffee stains, I'm really not all that concerned about the carpet.
10 hours is too long for her to be crated. We each work too far away to come home at lunch to let her out.
don't forget the illegal macksican peeing on everything because JJ wouldn't give him any tail
The carpet is prorated over 5 years, we've been here 4 so we're only accountable for 1/5 of the carpet replacement cost, which our security deposit will more than cover.
Interesting. My vet told me not to leave her locked up that long. 4-6 hours would be her max. She's a little dog and not being able to pee is verah bad.
if I were locked up for ten hours a day I would flip out and start peeing on things and tearing shit up
oh wait, I do that now. it's called work

You pee on things and tear shit up at work, what a cool office

I think she needs to be walked more and getting her back into obedience wouldn't hurt either. I want to get her into the agility training and get her into competitions.

Soooo do I look as young as I look?
She goes for a 20min+ walk in the mornings and does not get water or food while in the crate.
If she isn't drinking, she doesn't have to pee.

Unfortunately, I have to keep Diego locked up at least 8 hours I try to head home for lunch though. I have lined the sides of his crate with doggie pads and he aims out and hits them and nothing else. I think its somewhat impressive. I didn't want him to mess his cage (open cage not like LuLu's) and I didn't want my carpets pissed on it seems to work. He's a smart little guy because he won't go for them when he's out of his cage he will go stand by the door.
She is complicated because she seems to have never had human interaction before us. Being an adult dog, its like training a feral cat... geezus.
I think she has come a long way!
She is sleeping during that time, who drinks while they sleep?
Plus when I get home she doesn't go get water, then we go for a long walk and sometimes she still doesn't not drink.
They aren't humans, I'm sure they are built to go longer than us.
Yeah, I'm going to stick with my vet's advice on this.
Lu goes to see her enough as it is, I can only imagine bringing her in for kidney failure saying, "Yeah but this internet chick said it was okay!!" You're lucky your dog is good like that. When we get a house Lu is going to have her own room (without carpet) and we'll keep her locked up in there with potty pads or something. For now, I get to post funny uh oh pictures on the internet
