I have a 12 yr old Lhasa that has deliberately started peeing in the house. He has been house trained since we got him in 2000. He is doing it on purpose, even though he gets plenty of attention and outside time. He was going on my bathroom bathrug, I pulled up the rug every time we weren't using it. So then he just went on the floor. We started closing the bathroom door.

Now he just lifts his leg on my garbage pail in the kitchen. He will do it even if he's just spent 20 minutes outside... Doing all his business. He just does it on purpose .. I've tried everything. He is in great health ... He just wants to be out up for adoption or something .. Because he doesn't care how we punish him .. He knows.. We get the look.. And we KNOW he did it.. Then when he's called out on it, he lowers his ears and tail and just goes to his bed in his room.

I am SICK of this.. This dog has had a good life... Trust me.. Great life. I have another dog ... She is 5... She is a large breed .. Fixed.. And would never THINK to do this... She is such a great dog.. Pit mix.. Gentle and loving... While my stupid Lhasa can't be around children because he has been known to bite them. I'm starting to hate this dog. My husband loves him.. Or he would have been out of here when this started and no matter what we can't get him to stop !!!

Doctor gave me Ambien 10 mg...and that's not even helping. I've tried everything I can think of...no caffeine after 5 pm... taking the Ambien shortly before bed....when I get INTO bed...and nothing...I don't even feel the slightest bit drowsy.

It's been like this since the middle of July.

Warm milk...tried...

Bath...tried...

Chamomile tea...tried...

Ambien...tried....

Last June my H (47) was rear ended into an 18 wheeler when another driver fell alseep at the wheel. The driver hit the gas instead of the brake when he woke up and hit my H a 2nd time.

My H received damage to his neck and spine. He's been through 6 months of physical therapy 3 times a week, 3 epi shots, 4 opinions, and just went through back fusion surgery last month.

Back surgery alone was over $125,000 and it was the anterior/posterior type, of the 3 disks injured in his spine, one was compressing his spinal cord and causing sensory damage.

The PT, was successful on the cervical injuries.

He was coming back from a worksite, in a company provided vehicle, so worker's comp is paying all the bills.

The surgery was H's only chance of ever returning to his job in full capacity.

The attorney is going after the driver's insurance, the worker's comp and our insurance.

The medical bills alone are closing in on $250,000.

Anything left after medical and attorney?
