Somebody please explain why rolling in your pee is so much fun??

[GuinnessStout]

I swear this is the dirtiest little girl I have ever met I am either going to give her baths every hour or shave her bald!!

It's so bad we no longer call her Stella it is just Stinky or PeePee Fur

[navillusc]

LOL Can't help you there. I have never particularly enjoyed it myself.

Seriously, I remember reading stuff years ago about why they do it, and I have seen many do it...which doesn't make me like it any more. She may 'outgrow' this behaviour, especially after she's spayed, but you'll get good at bathing her a long time before that happens if she keeps it up. Good thing she's little!

I feel bad because she KEEPS diaper rash and she does not even wear diapers
And HOW do you manage to be 3.5 lbs and pee UNDER your food dish mat??

And DO NOT even get me started on eating poo and taking it in your bed to cuddle with!!! Guinness even turns his nose up at her sometimes

Wow! We haven't had that experience (thank heavens) or Sophie would have been washed bald by now. I really feel for you. My DH asked me the other day, did I think Sophie smelled stinky. I said yes a bit. I just took her into the bathroom with her shampoo and washed her from her face, underneath to her tail. Kind of a 1/2 bath. I didn't want to get her soaking wet cause it's so cold outside, but I believe I will be bathing her every other week or so because she walks in her pee every time she goes to use the pad.

This could get really expensive for you, especially if you have to pick up a pee pee pad after it's been used only once. I'm afraid I can't offer you any advice but hope you know, I really do feel for you. Hope you find an answer that really helps.

Pee-eeeewwww. Had a lot of dogs in this house, puppies, too, but thankfully never had one roll in pee yet. Had a couple that tried to roll in poop outside but got there first all but once!

[GuinnessStout]

I just do not get it... Guinness is a clean freak and then we have little Stinky

If there is pee under the food dish mat, she may is peeing at the edge of the mat. Maybe put a puddle pad next to...even slightly under...the mat. You can start moving it away a little at a time after she gets used to the pad. You def don't want diaper rash. Poor little girl is confused, maybe.

Oh the heavenly scent of the Ode de la Urine Parfume is simply too divine to resist!

Oh that is the other thing... She only tinkles on the very edge of her pads like the blue part she will not go in the center

[yorkietalkjilly]

Oh, I love the cute part of a puppy but don't miss this part one little bit. Stay strong, Alisha. One day she will get it and you can stop being a daily combination of a groomer and a cleaning lady. It has been years since Tibbe peed in the house! haha.

Hmmm...sounds like you may need to cover the entire area so there is no longer any edge anywhere. The pads I get are white on white, but there is an edge...but I kind of doubt it's the blue color. You def do want to get her into the middle of the pad more...and away from the feeding station for her business.

We did the complete overlap thing when we had a kitty get a urinary blockage and they cath'd him, then gave him 2xdaily subq fluids and he 'leaked' clear liquid like a sieve until his urethra healed. We got the Publix puppy pads...the ones we still get, and overlapped them over the entire area he could 'drag' himself to...he couldn't walk at first after almost dying from the blockage...happened very suddenly, by the way, and we rushed him to the ER Vet. We like these pads...they make great wet feet soppers, too. Anyway, we used the pads, even wrapped him in them like a receiving blanket on a newborn, trying to keep his fur dry until he healed, and used the maxi-overnight fem protect pads under the puppy pads in the crate when we took him back and forth to the vet until the vet decided we should skip the 2xdaily transport routine and subq him at home every other day or so.

Oh my goodness! Bless you guys. KS has never done this but I'd have to find a way to let her know that is bad.

[MandiesMom]

Yes, make the pad where there are no edges. When I first got Mandie, she would go on the edges..then I got a pad holder that had snap on sides. She still will go to the edge every once in a while, but usually just when I have forgotten to give her a new pad lol

What a little "stinker" you have..hehe. I think she'll grow out of it. Oh, and I remember months ago that another poster posted about her Yorkie taking poo to bed and kicking the toys to the curb. They must be related hehe

[GuinnessStout]

I just gave her a bath and while blow drying her it finally hit me.... She ALWAYS smells like a hamster even right after a bath

You've got the potential of a very good hunter there, though most here don't take advantage of that natural feature. She's trying to mask her scent, where she can "disappear" in the environment, giving her the ability to get a little closer to her prey, before the attack/charge.

My guys do that constantly, except they roll in the lawn/grass, given that "floral" scent, is predominant where I take them to hunt (along a near Bayou). It would be a little difficult to get one to stop that action, given that there's no counter action you can point out and praise.
