[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 37036, member: 3353"] Well, we have a little Havalina/Poodle (or something!) whose llife we saved by taking him after two other families had given up. So, when he first got to our house, he had issues. One of them was marking his territory on the furniture and the other was diving into the cat box pretty much at will. For a snack. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] As time went by, both behaviors were addressed, and we grew to love our little guy. So, here is the story of what happened once just before he gave up on the cat box thing for good. [img]:smile:[/img] It was late at night. Both husband and I thought we heard something, but never thought it was the dog. Then, we thought we heard something, knew it was the dog, and couldn't find him. There would be one short, sort of muffled bark, and then nothing. So, we began looking. We looked everywhere. One bark, and then, nothing. Where could he be? It turned out that, because we have one of those roofed in cat boxes with the door on the front? The dog had been able to sneak in there for his forbidden snack after everyone had gone to bed, but could not get out again. He knew he should not be in there and so, was too embarrassed to bark or whine for help. So, what he would do is bark once and then, as we circled closer to where we had heard the bark coming from, go silent. Because he really did not want us to find him in the litter box! When we finally figured out where he had to be and looked in the cat box? There he was. And he just looked up at us, and never made a sound. [img]:rofl:[/img] He did something similar to that down here, too. We have a different litter box here, of course. Apparently he has no problem getting into or out of this one easily.... So, one day, husband and I came in from somewhere, and there was no little, furry, black thing racing to the door and wanting to be picked up and made much of. In fact, there was no little, furry black thing anywhere to be found, even after we called his name (though the cat, oddly enough, did come). And then, who should break out of the cat box and race across the room like if he only went fast enough, we would never know he had been anywhere near it? Uh huh. Barbara . [/QUOTE]
