She had an accident sometime today and the guilt has overcome her.
Here she lays beside the ignominous spot & spot remover.
She's getting old.
I guess it's difficult hold on for 14 or 15 hours anymore.
We can usually tell if something is wrong when we come in the door.
If she's been good she's right there at the door, literally bouncing & dancing til we get in & feed her.
When she's been in trouble - gotten into the trash or chewed something - she won't come out of the back room, even if we call.
It doesn't happen often (the bad behavior) she's usually responding to something that ticked her off (like if we don't say goodbye to her before we leave for the day).
But this was none of those things, this was old age changing her ability to hold on.
She's getting old . . . .
