I Am A Bit Late In The Day

(remember that I am deaf and live alone)

This had been going on for 7-8 years but I genuinely didn't know.


However Mr Maxie was groomed last Monday and after I put him in the back of the car and I called up to see a friend. However on the hill to see that friend another friend was bringing her grandchildren into the house and spotted me.

Her husband brought the children in and she sat beside me in the front of the car and of course the two of us started giving the wag in the wall (ie conversation)

This friend adores dogs and in fact had just got her wee dog PTS the previous Friday (he was 14) - she started crying in my car and I understood fully then we went into the convo.

However she kept looking at my Maxie ie loving him and loving him but she said to me Jenny he is crying - well I definitely can't hear him crying any time but I guess he probably he does. After a convo and her saying oh God I gotta go - he is crying so sadly. That was that.

I know the above is long-winded but I put Maxie out a good lot throughout the back to do a pee and he does it but luckily enough I do have mats in the dining room which I can wash in the machine and lately I am having to do this nearly every day cos Maxie is peeing.

Now bless him it is at the back of the door where the urine stain is and now I am realising - he is probably crying (and I can't hear) to let him out and he is peeing on the mats.

Now for the real answer - whilst I can't hear him - is there anything I can do - when he is crying to get out - ie a deep bell or any answers would do. Thanks for any help.

The mats are eventually wearing away LOL

My charge is running out. My concern would be how big of a flap for his size. Think my handyman could do that for me then I will buy new mats. *Ha Ha*

I hate to be a party pooper but if Maxie won't go through a door he's been through thousands of times before on his own, he is highly unlikely to go through a dog flap - he will still be frightened of being locked in the garden

i have a long legged collie and the large size dog flap, but im sure your dog (if he' the one in the photo) could get away with the medium in LBs link
