Emme has been house broken for a long, long time and never has accidents in the house. When she was younger and house broken, she often would have an accident after she had been kenneled and returned home. It seemed that she got her signals crossed while we were gone and she was in the kennel and thought that maybe the rules had changed and she would be allowed to do her business in the house. Or maybe it was just a message saying, "That will teach you to leave me at the kennel and then go away and have fun without me." In either case, when we would bring her home, she would often have one accident in the house and then things would be back to normal.
In November, Ken and I made a long weekend trip to New Jersey and DC to deliver some Christmas presents and kenneled Emme and Rudy. We wondered if we would have our usual one accident after "Puppy Camp." Well, we didn't. Emme must be growing up. She's a big girl now and no accident.

Funny your post today should be of this topic. Chloe had an accident today - first one in about 7 months! And it was ALL my fault. I was unable to take her out because I was preoccupied, ordering Christmas gifts for clients on the phone while she was running around trying to tell me she had to go out. No one was around to take her out for me - and so, not having gone do-do since 10am, she did one on the kitchen floor at 7:30ish. UGH! I was horrified. And scolded myself for being so neglectful. Oh, well. My whole day was off kilter...but now we're back on schedule - thanks to the mishap. It's a reminder to me to stay on the schedule and stay focused.
