    She has tiddled a lot today , we had to go out this afternoon for three hours to Truro hospital and she has had an accident, not like her at all .Will have to try and catch a sample and take her to the Vets first thing in the morning, not an easy task with a small dog who is so low to the ground :(

    Oh dear, sorry to hear that. It made me think though, that my dad managed to fashion an improvised sample obtainer by cutting down a 4 pint milk container to leave the handle bit (as a handle) and a kind of dustpan/ scoop bit on the opposite side which could be slotted underneath a peeing pup! Used it successfully on his old Jack Russell who sadly developed diabetes in her later years.

    Thats a good idea thanks , I hang on to plastic tubs to use for freezing , might try one of those and if not will try the plastic milk bottle . Think I might have to leave the back door open for her overnight , poor love x

    I think it was Angela who suggested to me a baking tray, or something like an old ice cream container, you dont need much. Hops Millies clears up quickly and you get it sorted, they can get nasty , Take care Millie, licks from Otis xx

    Tripping around on a sodden garden at 4 in the morning, trying ( unsucessfully ) to catch wee in a shallow pie dish is not my idea of fun ::)
