It happens every Saturday when she works, she calls and says I'm sending a photo, PLEASE MUMMY, PLEASE.
She didn't even send me a text she just showed her to me when I picked her up and I agreed she was sweet and gentle. the end. but not so fast.
Stella had a potential family coming to see her the following week they were 4 hours to meet her. In the meantime I had a greed to become a foster family for the rescue. The potential family decided they were not a match and the rescue called us to foster her.
OMG. the girls were beside themselves, I was ready yet a tad apprehensive. I have been giving some serious thought to a dog lately for many reasons and ones that I am not willing to get into here.

She was 11 months old and a wire haired terrier mix. A complete softie and quite bonkers HOWEVER, Stella didn't pee. In 3 days she peed twice. We walked and walked miles with her and she would sniff and carry on but nothing. On night number 2, I got up at one, two, three and finally at four she peed.
When I addressed the issue with dog people they said it wasn't normal if she was drinking, and she was, A LOT. The rescue lady on the other hand said I was neurotic and making Stella that way. Stella went back to the rescue and the girls and I are a little upset about the entire thing.
If you have an opinion leave it here, it might help for next time.
First of all Stella is adorable.....I love that face. I don't care what they told you this can happen & you were not being neurotic! It happened with us with Molly.....in fact she can go hours without peeing(wish I could be that way:)!). Happened with Jessie's new puppy, with Mark & Dani's new puppy. My opinion is a dog will get stressed in a new situation & that's their way of reacting to it. I feel so bad that this happened to you & the girls. Next time feel free to message me anytime & I will do my best to help.
ReplyDeleteThe rescue lady said you were neurotic? Are you serious? What a mean person. Peeing twice in three days isn't normal for sure. If anything, I have found that excited and nervous dogs usually tinkle more. It is possible that she was just nervous about being in a new situation though. I cannot believe the rescue lady blamed you. Ugh.
