| Roundy,our female has started messing in the house every night.The back door is open from 8 am until 12.30 every day.It's not Bare,i take him home,sure it's not Ranger,he goes outside every night,but Roundy won't go out.Bill goes to bed about 1am,tries to get her out,but she refuses to budge,he normally wakes about 3 am and there it is,on the kitchen floor,wee and poo.Every night this week it has happened,needless to say he is getting very mad.
Just don't know what to do.

| Is this the first week it has happened? Maybe the fireworks going off are frightening her? She might be ok while you are there but worry when you go to bed...

| Hi Bev,no this is not the first time,sometimes it's been once a week,then not at all for a couple of weeks,but this week every night,no fireworks at all until last night,don't go to bed until 1 am most nights,no fireworks then,plenty of time for her to go out.

Try taking her for a late night walk, the walking should make her go.

| Try feeding her in the morning - this can make a huge difference.

| We have 2 dogs and a bitch. From time to time we get weeing problems,Suspect its a dominance thing.
Regarding your bitch ours refuses to go out sometimes. We have to make her budge, we have even had to pick her up and carry her outside.

Hi Di,well i always feed them about 1pm.
Last night i got behind her and pushed her all the way to the garden,this was 1am this morning,she had a big wee,nothing else but this morning there was nothing,Bill said she ran out at 5am this morning and just sat in the garden for 1 and a half hours staring a the bungalow and would not come in.
very strange lass.She did the same last week but shesat in the rain for an hour,just would not come in.

1pm feed is early enough I would have thought . Maybe a trip to the vet to make sure there is no health problems .

| Obviously worth a 'health' check; but also consider if there is some different electronic equipment in the house that emits a very high frequency noise that you can't hear, but they can. They can be very 'disturbed' by some of it.
