I would go in for some "tummy pets" and do some small pokes similar to what the doctor does at a general check up. Maybe she has kidney problems or an infection. The fact that there was so much pee might be an indicator that she can't tell if she has a full bladder, and that she is pacing at night she might be confused and fell funny. She might not be able to tell if she has to pee. You could always take her on long walks before you vacuum to make her too tired to rebel, if that is what she is really up to!<br />Good luck, sounds like a complex problem!Meggers Handelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168174400460203967.post-86724196976673153022011-08-16T08:55:29.184+02:002011-08-16T08:55:29.184+02:00The biggest thing right now is money - I guess we&...The biggest thing right now is money - I guess we'll have to find the least expensive option.

She was used to that here so maybe it would give her some comfort and feeling of security. You might also take her to the vet as they can give dogs some anti-anxiety meds that seem to help. Larry & Cathy's dog, Greta, was in the same boat and she is doing quite a bit better now, at least according to the last we heard from Larry.

Make sure you give her designated "play time". Keep us posted and I'll try to think of more ideas.Grandmommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168174400460203967.post-50026912123832196312011-08-15T17:15:32.054+02:002011-08-15T17:15:32.054+02:00Have you tried a kennel?

We <br />had to do this too. Both seemed to help us. Also, whenever we <br />vacuum the house, we put the dogs in the kennels or kick them outside to<br /> let them run around. I hope these tips are helpful! Best of luck!!!Kelbyhttp://peacheyplanner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
