    Pooping in Crate
    I have a two year old Boston terrier who still pees and poops in her crate. I am ready to go out of my mind with the smell and the inconvenience of cleaning it everyday. She goes outside before she goes to sleep and doesn't eat after 5:30pm. Not only does she go in her crate but then she eats it. It is very disturbing!! What can I do?

    The eating, I may have a solution. To us adding something to the food to make it less attractive seems funny. Try pineapple juice or canned pumpkin, or the commercial products forbid or Deter.

    Stopping it, er, um, uh. Here is what I just suggested in a similar questions, ''Moving the feeding time up may help. If it doesn't help, try a later feeding. Make him move around when you take him out. Movement stimulates the body to relieve itself.

    I am not one to insist on expensive dog chows. However, the concentrated, meat based ones do produce smaller stools, which might help.''
