Well, it's been six months since we accepted defeat and gave the boys the litter box to use. Since they both started using the box, they have not expressed any real interest in using the toilet again. One week ago (on Christmas morning), I'm in the bathroom, cleaning the litter box when Ben hops right … Continue reading 6 months later… →

Well, I have sad news to report. In the past 2 weeks, Desmond has pooped on the living room carpet any chance he can get. If we catch him in time, we can usually coax him to go on the toilet, but we are obviously not home all day and all night. To make matters … Continue reading DEFEAT →

Well, no new news to report, but I thought I'd add that I bought an automatic flusher for the toilet and installed it recently. Now we come home to a clean toilet everyday! Of course it makes tracking who pooped when harder, but it's so much nicer! It took me a while to calibrate it … Continue reading Day 172 →

I realize I haven't updated this in a longggg time! That's mainly because we are still holding steady on that last green tray with some litter in it for Desmond. He just refuses to poop in the toilet unless it's there. Sometimes, if he deems it unacceptable (i.e., not enough litter), he will poop on … Continue reading Day 166 →

I was afraid they would fall off (or in!), so I put the intermediate green tray in for them for a … Continue reading Day 115 →

Desmond is getting better at sitting, but is still not doing it exactly right. No accidents since we reinstated the green tray with litter. Hoping we can ditch the litter crumbs soon! I'm a little nervous for next week: they both have an appointment to be neutered. I'm not sure what will happen then...they might … Continue reading Day 103 →

Really, Dez?? Can't you put your paws on the outside of the tray?

I can't believe we're on day 95. Yikes. Well, we had a major set back yesterday. After nearly a week of no green tray, Desmond walked into the living room and pooped on the carpet, right in front of Chris. I just don't get it! He has NEVER pooped anywhere besides the toilet or directly … Continue reading Day 95 →
