Just as an update - The guys that beat up my dog were found, beaten, and later arrested and charged. The dogs are doing ok except for some paranoid behaviors that we are slowly getting rid of.
Anyway the place we were looking at, the landlord turned out to not accept pets even though his ad said he did. Lucky for us, the boyfriend's parents are moving back to the mountains and we can temporarily (up to three years but no less than 6 months) stay at their house!
Awesome! The only issue is that their backyard likes to flood in the winter. I mean it isn't so bad that it is a danger to us but is impossible for the dogs to go out and potty during a storm. What did their dogs do? Well most of their dogs are large so water wasn't quite swishing their bits but the little rat terrier went all in the garage. YUUUCK! I'm not into that at all!
ukey: We thought it would be a good idea to just indoor train everyone.
In fact, why not make the office (it is a 2 bedroom with an office) into a dog room! Now here is the catch. The bedrooms and living room (including the office) are all hard wood. It is an old school house so the kitchen is big enough for kitchen stuff only. There is an attached laundry "room" but it hardly fits a washer/dryer as it is.
I thought about buying some kennel/stable mats and putting them in the room and giving them a good brush every day and a good wash every weekend. Heck I'd build a ton of muscle that way! :soldier:
I remember reading about some reusable pee pads with a sticky backing. With a little research, I was able to locate Pish Pads. In short, does anyone think these would make a good floor liner?
