I joined yesterday so i have some where to gush over my Lilly Potter, she's my 6 week old Chihuahua (I know she is young it was an emergency give away) need some help....
Last week I had an accident, black eye, bruises and torn tendons in my knee so I'm in a metal knee imobilizer for 2 weeks, then I will have knee surgery. I am home alone all day while the kids are at school so i am not able to take Lilly out, before the accident I had almost finished potty training, she is so smart. During the day I have to just clean up her mess the best I can and when my hubby gets home he takes her out for the rest of the day. Now, the problem.......she sleeps in her own bed right by the head of my bed (she is very attached to me) at night she has been getting up and going in the living room to sleep on the couch, she can climb up the couch but she can't get down so she is pottying on the couch! I know its not her fault, its mine. Crate training is NOT an option, I tried that when I first got her at 4 weeks old and she is terrified of it so i will not put her back in. Any advice would be great, this little girl is the love of my life I swear it feels like my hubby and i have another child and she is spoiled rotten LOL:rofl1:
