New Crate

The infection provided a great opportunity to teach and gain trust in her housebreaking. Cinder was wonderful, letting us know repeatedly that she wanted to go outside. She was even able to transfer the knowledge to all our exit doors. Late last night, we were downstairs and she would exit to potty, return through the door, and immediately exit to potty again.

Not wanting to create a bad habit, potty in her crate, we set up our "new" glass crate. The glass crate provided easy clean up. Cinder accepted it and even climbed in by herself this evening.



I want to give our veterinarian some kudos; he was extremely accommodating. Dr. Boyle opened up this afternoon, Sunday, for an office visit. The diagnosis was a minor urinary tract infection and an inverted vulva. The former can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Unfortunately, the latter is cause to terminate her from the guide dog program.
