Sweet Little Lottie

She is beautiful and I love that awesome crate. It looks like a piece of furniture and it will be like a nice cave for her.

What an awesome crate, and how lucky that you could have some one build it for you. Any idea as to what could of scared her in the yard, maybe some yummy treats will entice her back outside to play. She sure sounds like a sweet heart and is lucky to have her forever home.
 
We've been trying to lure her into the yard with treats. I think we're going to have to graduate to some higher value treats, maybe hot dog pieces.

Initially I thought she was afraid she wouldn't get back in because she walked into the lanai screen in several places trying to get in the house on her first day. But she definitely knows where the door is now and I keep both the screen door and the slider into the house open so she knows she can get back inside.

She only peed once all day today and no poop! I'm worried she'll get a UTI.

Tonight she laid with her head in my lap for at least 30 minutes. It was so cute. She really has the sweetest nature.
 
Just wondering, maybe she would pee for you better on a walk? Mally will pee in the yard but prefers going on a walk. (he goes more) We believe he thinks the yard is part of our house. I will say a prayer she pottys more often for you.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them and for the updates, as well.

Happy for all of you. Miss Lottie fits right in!!!! Her forever home is made to order for her!!!

All 3 of your shelties are stunning!
 
I'm so happy things are going so well for you!

and I like the walk idea....Gavin always pees more on walks...
 
Lottie willingly went into the yard to pee TWICE today!!! And she pooped too! Yay! One step forward!

She is the most precious little girl. She runs up to meet me when I get home, even though her little foot bothers her and she has arthritis in both the front and back. She sits and waits for her greeting. What an amazing girl!

My three babies are awesome and I love them!!!
 
Lottie is doing great, but we continue to have pottie holding issues. She's peed only once in over 24 hours and that was when I took her in the yard for at least 20 minutes in a sprinkling rain. Mosquitoes LOVE me so I had my pants stuck into my socks and a hooded jacket on all zipped up with the hood up. I'm sure my neighbors think I've lost my mind! But I wasn't going to give up. I knew she had to pee!

I just kind of walked around ignoring her and finally she went. We celebrated profusely!!

Other than the potty issues, things are awesome. All three dogs get along well and Lottie is a very loving little girl. She really is just the sweetest thing.
 
yeah so happy that she pee'd. We have had so much rain the last couple of days and yesterday it was almost all day, had tons of mushrooms or fungi in the yard today. Good girl Lottie... we need more pictures!!!
