Thanks ladies.....tomorrow I;m going to spend most of my time in the garden trying my best the trouble is I can't stand out there to long as I have young children inside who I can't obviously leave unattended! I'm not sure I could use a crate now as shes very much ets treated like a child not a dog and would feel to cruel cageing her....see sleeps on my daughters bed at night but has never wee'ed on her bed just ours once I hve changed the sheets! Are all king charles very clingy??? I'm home most of the time, only really go out to do the school runs and even though I'm not gone for long she scratches and whines at the front door till I get back, which is why we got her the cat to keep her company!!
