ugh. That would make me grouchy too.

get one of those pooch grass things?

I suppose we could try to add a gate at the top of the basement steps until she stops going inside.

i just think it's weird that she can hold #1 but not #2. i guess it's probably more difficult in general. maybe she hates the muddy yard.

she does better on days we take walks, because she gets a chance to pick a spot out of the whole neighborhood =P
