Something has been driving me crazy with Mindy lately! When she goes outside to go “poo”, she will start to go in one area of the yard, but before she’s finished, she starts to run off. Sometimes, she isn’t quite finished, (and this might sound very gross) so there can be something “hanging” from her butt! She freaks out, and tries to roll around the grass, causing it to smoosh on her leg or butt.

Ugh!

Then she stops and tries to poo again. If I am lucky, she will finish there and then; but for the past couple of days, she will keep freaking out until she finally stops and finishes her business.

I tried the “stay” command, figuring maybe I could get her to start and finish in ONE area, and I thought it was working for a time, but then it ceased to help. Mike thinks that possibly she is having extra “trouble” because she has been tearing apart her rope toys, and she is probably digesting some parts of the rope. Soo, we are removing access to her rope toy, which is a shame, because she loves it.

Update: didn’t know it at the time, but it was probably from the dog food we were feeding her. Oh how much I have learned!
