Mike and I recently discovered that Faline was using our living room as her personal litter box. Needless to say, this has resulted in a huge effort to clean our carpet and remove her 'scent'. So...a little advice to anyone who may be in a similar predicament: over time, corn starch and Natures Miracle will slowly bring up dog urine from carpet.
So, Faline has had some house restrictions. For the meanwhile, she has lost the privilege of being left unattended in the house. If we leave, she gets to stay in the basement or in the backyard. We also decided that Faline would get a little 'gift' to assist her in her restroom efforts...we bought her a doggie door. Now, you would think that it would be fairly easy to train a dog to use a doggie door, but no. She does not quite get the concept that she can push the flap forward and move in and out as she pleases. She will not go in or out unless we hold the door flap open for her.
So, the moral of the story is...if you feel that you need an added form of birth control, all you need to do is buy a dog (or just watch ours for the afternoon).

This story really cracks me up. We went through something similar when we were trying to litter train our cat.
If your dog doesn't work as a good form of Birth Control - Conner would love to come and spend the night :).. He still wakes up a couple times.. ha ha!
I love your blog and reading your stories!!
