We interrupt our regularily scheduled programming to bring you this important message:
If you think a puppy continually peeing in her crate is bad, try coming home to a puppy who has spent the better part of the morning mixing pee and poop together like a child finger-painting.
Smearage all over the inside of the crate, caked up and down the wires of the door, spilling over on the hardwood, house reeking of liquified shit.
Puppy leaving poop footprints on her way to the back door. Puppy who *had* white feet.
Stripping work clothes from body in preparation for Operation: Poop Removal.
Crate impossible to dismember because one of the bolts has stripped threads.
Wrestling poop filled rank-as-a-feedlot crate into too small bathroom.
Blasting poop filled crate with scalding hot water and trying to avoid errant drops of pooped filled water.
High pressure spraying poop covered toys.
Washing poop prints from the poop colored floor.
Corralling poop covered puppy into tub and pinning her down for a foot scrub.
Watching as poop free puppy runs amuk like nothing ever happened.
After all that I had to return to work … and now I’m pooped.

Looks like our puppies are twins in more than one way! We came home the night before last to a situation that can only be described as an EXPLOSION of diarrhea in the crate. It was horrendous - it was on the walls, the ceiling, the carpet surrounding the crate. Like you we spent the rest of the evening trying to find a way to clean the entire crate, clean the puppy, clean the carpet, clean the toys.. We ended up just throwing away all the bedding.
Good luck on that score - I feel your pain!!!
I would probably cry if that happened to me, honestly. That's pretty gross.
Luckily, Boo is pretty good... although, I hardly ever leave the house for longer than 2 hours and the rest of the day she is out and about with a doggie door that she is very good at using. :) She even went and whined at it last night when my husband closed it and she couldn't get out to go to the potty.
Oh well, such is life, I guess. :/ Good luck with crate training Leeloo... I hope it starts working out soon, because that is no fun for you.
Shumba had the same experience a couple weeks ago...our bedding got tossed and Miss Poopy had her SECOND bath of the day. She was flinging it out the crate through the door so the whole kitchen got a wash down. Good luck, I know that we need it! These girls are a handful.
Yes now try that with an almost 6 yr old. If I leave my smooth fox (thankfully much smaller poo size)for longer than she wants in her crate she will not only poop, but then proceed to bum paint it all over her crate and her self. She will do this daily too if she is unhappy with amount of "mom" time.
