I'm going to lose my mind.

Zoe just turned a year old. We bought the largest cage we could find for her so as an adult she would be able to fit in it still. Well, she's getting too big for her cage now. She can stand up in it, but her head has to be down when she goes in and out. She can get turned around in it, but it takes a second. So I know when I'm at work it's gotta be uncomfortable for her to be in her cage. I've moved her cage downstairs and kept her in there so she could get used to being down there. Then I gradually gave her more freedom. Well this week every time I get home on my lunch to let her out she's peed and/or pooped on the floor. I don't get it because she is house trained. She doesn't go upstairs on the floor. She's fine all night without going out. What do I need to do for her to stop this. I know I need to go to Petsmart and get more cleaner with the enzymes in it to clean up her mess. What am I missing here? She has her toys, her food, blanket, a LITTLE bit of water so she doesn't drink too much and have to go. Shaz? Alty? Anyone? Suggestions would be awesome. We want to get another puppy but don't want Zoe teaching it bad habbits.

You guys crack me up. Can I meet up too? Zoe is still growing though, so I was going to go with the size of the crate that's recommended for a great dane.

54" deep, 37" wide and 45" high.

Does that sound ok?

So what is has been happening in the past few days? Is she still having the same problem?Or does it seem to be getting better as she becomes accustomed to more freedom?
I'm just curious.She is so adorable!

Well, because she seemed to be having real difficulties being outside of her cage I just let her go back in there. She's been in her cage the last couple days and has been fine. No whining or anything. Maybe she would do better if I just let her get used to it. I don't know. I just don't want to put her through more stress than necessary. And thank you, We think she's pretty darn cute too.

And Alty, she loves to play ball. She tries to catch them in the air. =)
