<p>wow ellen, sounds like a very similar dog:) I think my girls age is now an issue also, but thats not her excuse…she was always like this! There is no doubt, that she trained me…lol. But its not so messy. I did try doggie diapers at one point…every variety they had out…and she was totally able to wiggle her way out of them…not matter HOW I put them on. If I used the velcro then used safety pins…she still got it off…and just to aggravate me more, she would tear it apart, leaving all the diaper “innards” all over the place, lol…never used of course…pretty sure she’d go just as soon as she got the thing off!!</p>
<p>I hear poodles are very smart??? maybe next time…lol</p>
