I feel so bad! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Last night, Bilbo got his bath and pedi. Usually, he will just lie down and let me nip his nails. I have NEVER gotten into the quick, and he usually tolerates it very well. Last night, he was very wiggly and trying to get up and it took about three times longer than normal. When I let him down, he ran away without his treat, ran back to the bedroom and jumped on the bed, where my husband was watching TV. I came to get him and he was acting scared and ashamed. I picked him up, and he had peed on the bed. I'm not talking about a little tinkle, I'm talking about a flood!

I think he was so wiggly because he needed to go outside, and I didn't pay attention to his signals. Naturally, my husband was pretty annoyed, but I felt terrible for making Bilbo hold it and then have an accident. I just picked him up, took him outside, changed the sheets and left it at that.

Poor baby! He was trying to tell you that he needed to potty!

Don't feel bad, I've done that to Fynn before. He'll be pacing - which is his sign - and I just thought he was trying to get my cat. Low and behold, a few minutes later, I went over to where he was pacing and he had peed a really big pee right in the middle of the floor. He was all upset and he ran to my mom like I was going to be bad at him. I just cleaned it up and gave him a little lovin' and gave him a treat.

Aw I have done that to Poppy before too

I picked her up and sat her on my knee for a cuddle, but she was in a really hyper mood and was wriggling a bit.. I thought she was just excited so I didnt put her back on the floor and she did a pee on the chair

She went all quiet after that poor thing.. it was my fault of course and I felt so bad.
Now as soon as she wriggles its outside!

Don't beat yourself up. We all make mistakes. You did the right thing by just cleaning it up and moving on. I bet he has already forgotten.

Don't feel bad. I remember one time I was playing a video game on my xbox 360 and Brandi was pacing back and forth trying to let me know she really had to go.

I kept saying to her just one more minute (i was playing call of duty) and I just couldn't tear myself away. Well my little one couln't hold it any longer and boy did she let it rip. I am talking pee and runny poop on the carpet

. Not to mention she was farting while taking a dump. The messed up part was that the sliding glass door to let her out was only two feet away.

It was all my fault....she tried to tell me. It took natures miracle and my little hand dandy hand held carpet cleaner (so glad I have one of those), and febreeze get out it out.

Needless to say....I don't ignore her or make her wait anymore. Lesson learned

I felt like when I was potty training one of my children and they told me they had to go and I said "just a minute" and they wet their pants! So ashamed and inadequate.

But I know he has forgotten about it, but not my husband!

You are really going to have to go out of the way to make that up to him!

I think he needs some very special walks, some new toys, maybe a new bed or two, and a nice car ride in the country.

Oh! I nearly fogot he's going to need some new very special treats, too.
