Gizzy has started, in the last few weeks, to play with mostly but also sometimes chew my shoes
She is being a right little tea leaf and anything that's mine she wants. She's really into knickers, scarfs, bras, vest tops too. Basically anything small she can fling about and stick her head through
and carry outside. She does have proper toys and more so plastic bottles, chews, cardboard rolls, plastic pots etc (not 'cos I'm cheapo, she seems to like these better
) but still wants to take my bits and pieces.
She has also, I discovered, started going to the toilet in the cellar. I don't know how long for because we barely use it but I did discover 2 poos and about 7 wee marks some old, some new (gross I know but as I say we don't often go down there). She has also pee'd in the dining room twice, in the bathroom and the hall once but the last ones have been while I've been at home. She knows she's not to as usually she follows me everywhere and she'll not folllow me to where she's done it. Plus, this is very out of character.
She has only been left for a max of 3hrs and usually not that long at all and she goes out right before I leave and as soon as I get back.
As her toilet training was so hard I still always reinforce her 'wee word' and the 'good girls' when I see her go outside so I don't think it's me being complacent.
So, is this just teenage behaviour, she is now 1yr 2.5mths or is it that she isn't getting enough stimulation etc, have enough alternative toys or could it just be a slight change in her routine that has brought this about?
Also, this is the stupid question part, but could the weeing be because the door is always open now it's been hot, she comes in and out as she pleases and as such there isn't such a clear outside/inside boundary or she doesn't pee when she's out because she's in and out so much she thinks she can go out whenever and if the door is shut she gets desperate IYSWIM?
