Stella took a long time to become fully housetrained. She was about 7 months old and we were begnning to despair then one day she just seemed to get the hang of it. Now she will look at us and if we say "do you want the toilet" she knows what it means and if she does she runs to the door. She still doesn't cry to go out.

Also it was a long time before she would go for either pee or poo when out for a walk. She used to wait until she got home and go straight into the garden and go.

Now she never has an accident in the house. She is so good. Persever and it will come good.

She has been sick on the landing tonight though. Think as a result of digging up and eating a chew that she buried in the garden a couple of weeks ago. Chews and biscuits get hidden everywhere - tucked in the corner of the stair, in the cat litter tray and even in our bed!
