Great pics hazbin and BigMenace! More pics or vids of the puppy please

I feed her canidae lamb and rice. She is house trained but stays in a crate all day. If she has to poop she has to poop I dont understand why people get hungup on a dog shitting its cage. I don't go 8-10 hours without a doo doo so why should I expect her to. She doesn't do it all the time though.
BNB, is there anyway you can come home at lunch and let her out? Just because you can go 8-10 hours w/o pooping doesn't mean her body is on the same schedule.
Does she really have to stay in a crate for 8-10 hours

Imagine if you had to stay in there that long. I know some dogs love their crates, but 8-10 hours seems too long to me, and the fact that she poops in there sometimes seems to confirm it. I wouldn't want to be inside a cage a bit larger than my body, having to doo so badly that I doo inches from myself and then sit there next to it for possibly hours

Can you please consider getting child gates or something and leaving her in the kitchen for that time period? You could put her crate in that area but leave it open so she can sleep in there but be able to roam about a bit. Maybe put some nice toys in the kitchen area too.

And of course water. Do you put water in her crate?
I hope I didn't offend. If you lived near me, I would come and let her out as my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm sure chances of that are small and maybe you have another friend that could let her out? PM me w/your state if you like and if it's the same as mine we can go from there. I could give you references from cops and my Vet if you like
