I was a little shocked myself when she started this. For now locking them in my room has curbed the 'accidents', but she gets me up pretty early to go in the morning. I will take a sample to the vet, who btw has suggested this herself. I have been busy looking for a second job. Got to get this down before I'm away from home even more, so I'm on it. This saturday I will get a sample and take it down the road to the vet. Later we can do that 'senior' panel as she is getting old much too quickly for her age. That's what happens when you first dog is from a byb. sigh
