I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. It has happened again.
Me: I am so sorry. I was detained outside.
Stella: And in your absence, Miss Sweetie decided that she could not wait and she…constructed her own toilet. Appalling.
Me: Actually, I find it remarkable.
Stella: What if I started constructing my own toilet? Would that be remarkable?
Me: Well…yeah. Okay. So, Miss Sweetie used her food bowl as a toilet.
Stella: Gross. Yuck. Horrible.
Me: It’s not the first time that she has done something like this.
Stella: I know! It doesn’t make it less appalling.
Me: I am cleaning and sterilizing it. It’s not something I want to do.
Stella: You agree. It’s…yuck!
Me: Yeah but think about this. She…deposited the…refuse… all in one place. She is very specific.
Stella: Next time she needs to be specific and go outside.
Me: I am not usually distracted during bathroom time. Today was different.
Stella: Don’t let it happen again.
Miss Sweetie: Lady Human, I am so sorry. I couldn’t wait any longer.
Me: That’s all right, Sweetie. I understand. I appreciate that you…contained it.
Miss Sweetie: I did my best.
Me: You made it a lot easier to clean up. Just understand. When I go outside, I am not going to stay out there forever.
Miss Sweetie: In bathroom matters, please define ‘forever’.

I find it amazing that she contains it to her bowl. I think she should be rewarded for her ingenuity.

She has perfect aim. Rewarding her may be a problem. I’m not sure I want her taking that as a positive. She responds to treat training VERY quickly. The problem is that if I have to leave the room when she happens to need to “go out”, she instantly gives up as in, “Uh-oh. The human has left and will never come back. Might as well go here and now.”

Ok well no indoor bathroom for Miss Sweetie. I’d love to get her to train my babies to go in a bowl 🤣
