Day 14

I didn't think things would be perfect.  Last night I found my first turd upstairs on the new carpet.  I had walked Blue last night after dinner, so he had opportunity.  I'm not responding to it, just continuing the walks and positive support.  All the rain we've had lately does add some challenges to the experiment.  Blue is terribly afraid of lightening, more specifically the thunder and loud noises.  No amount of soothing alleviates his fear, but doggie valium does.  Normally I wouldn't be an advocate of drugging a pet, but he is so much calmer.  I'm hoping it will help him get over his fear.
