I was blabbing with the fellas on the vherf yesterday evening, wife was cooking, nobody was listening to the dog whine... and he pooped by the downstairs bathroom.
Our fault... no harm no foul, picked up easy and then I put the steam mop to the area.
Let him pee last night before bed around 9:40. Woke up at 2:30 and figured I'd let him go and we both went back to bed. 5:30 rolls around and I wake up to him whining. He's waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs... brutha had to poop.
Looks like crate training is over. Last 3 nights he has slept outside the crate. Only accident was in the evening and that was our bad.
