Going backwards

HI all,

So after the happiness of Ruby pretty much becoming house trained, she has started to go backwards again. We had the decorators in a few weeks ago so decided that Ruby could stay upstairs with us, like our 7 year old does. Almost over night this made her house trained, she'd sleep through for the night and make no mess. The last 4/5/6 nights though she has messed every night. We knew there would be the odd issue as she is only 6 months but its as if she forgot how to be house trained. My OH says that she will have to go back downstairs from now on, but I feel so bad about it - any suggestions?x

Yes you need to go back to basics, if it means her going back downstairs then try it.
Perhaps the decorators have just unsettled her.   

Yes I'd go back to basics with her, Darcy around 7 months all of a sudden started weeping on the landing carpet after having never done it before thankfully after a couple of weeks back to basics she stopped

So you would suggest back downstairs etc?x

I would yes   

Makes me sad not cuddling up to her but will have to try lol.x
