Princess Poops-A-Lot

Potty training Bella has been 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Last night however, she ran backwards.

I'm getting to know Bella's habits of when she needs to go to the bathroom. (Don't worry, I'll spare you the details.) Yesterday, I worked from home 'til Mr. Cableguy showed up. (We previously had 5 channels that came in and two of them were in Spanish. I hope we still get Primero Impacto.) ;)

Anyway, right before I left for work, I gave Bella the opportunity to do her thing outside. Nothing. I gave her plenty of time. Still nothing. Ok, I thought she would need to go but I can't force her. Fast forward till 5:00 and sure enough, dangling and smushed against the gate was, what used to be, puppy food. So I took apart her kennel, cleaned it off, and stuck it in the shower to hose it off.

Immediately following, I had to head to work for a little bit and Erin stayed home. I had put Bella in the bathtub so that Erin could just relax and not worry about her. When I returned home 45 minutes later, I was greeted with, "Guess what your dog did". Uh oh. I went upstairs to find that Bella had pooped in the tub. It was all over her and her toys. YUK! So much for Tuesday night Bible study.

Needless to say, everything is now clean but just when I had started to trust her, we revert back to the begining. Oh well. We don't love our Princess Poops-A-Lot any less. We just think twice about where we let her roam, if at all. :)
