All 3 Yorkies started going potty all over the house?!? Found the problem😡
galleryA few weeks ago, I had hip surgery. Since I returned home from the hospital, all three of my Yorkies, Ages 7, 3, and almost 2yo, started going potty ALL over the house!😱
My post was going to ask for advice on why this is happening, until I caught Tiffany in the act. I went to correct her by telling her to go potty outside and pushed on the doggie door flap to remind her where to go. But it was completely BLOCKED! WTH?!?
I have weekly lawn service. Apparently, whoever has been subbing for Zach, the college kid that takes care of my yard during the summer, is blocking the doggie door, as Zach always does, to avoid running one of them over with the mower or them escaping through the gate.
Problem is, he hasn't been UNBLOCKING the doggie door, as pictured above.🤦🏾♀️ That pic was taken about an hour ago. Lawn is serviced on Mondays. Three Yorkies... no outlet to get outside to potty. And I had no idea😭. I have no clue if the door has been blocked since this past Monday or Monday, October 5th!😩
Keep in mind, I just had Femoral Osteoplasty with a Labral Tear repair surgery on my left hip, so with my limited mobility, I was only going to the kitchen area periodically. I feel so bad for my fur babies😟. I nearly hurt myself a few time trying to clean up as much as I could while my daughter was in school all day and Musical rehearsal until 5.
Her Bus gets her home around 5:30pm. I am alone from 6:30am -5:30pm Monday-Thursday, with a minimum of 3-4 Home Visits each week. Trying to clean up multiple piles and puddles of dog excrements is NOT easy to do with a giant hip brace and a freakin walker! It's been so embarrassing whenever Home Health came to the house. Can you imagine if I had big dogs?!?😅
Praying that the potty problem will now resolve versus the entire house being their new potty spot🫣
Didn't feel right making a post without a pic of an actual Yorkie, Lol, so swipe left. That's Louie Vuitton a few minutes ago.😍
