Eldorado does litter box train and they were always very successful at it when I visited..I know they line the outside of the box with newspaper too..so I would make sure to do that also so she's as familiar with the process as she can be. I would suggest if you can't get her to start using it for pooping soon to just get her a coat and start outside. The longer she goes without pooping where you want her to the harder it'll be when you need to change it. Bad habits develop fast. I wish I started Oakley outside right away versus litter training. He always would pee in it but he wouldn't poop in it. He got very used to pooping next to the box on the kitchen floor and to this day prefers going on hard surfaces. I know it's hard to imagine potty training outside in this weather but you might be better off in the long run.
I'm not against the litter box, I also have an eldorado pup; I just know the entire process would've been easier and more beneficial to is both if I braved the weather and did it in the first plAce

Hi, my name is Bruce and I stopped by to let you know that today we have a cartoon inspired by a Basenji and an Irish Wolfhound, and you are not going to believe where the Basenji sleeps. Take a look:
If you haven't discovered DrawtheDog.com yet, we post one cartoon a day inspired by a photo or story a dog owner has sent us. Each cartoon draws itself as you watch.
We are always looking for more photos, and we don't get as many Basenji submissions as we would like. You can send them to photos@drawthedog.com

I love this site…

Thanks, Sharron!

Welcome Bruce and thanks for posting. I too love your site - I've always found it quite entertaining and really amazing at the same time! You may have just opened the flood gates for basenji entries, lol.
Love the entry today! -
Opening the floodgates is a good thing. People think we get too many stories, but in truth Jim ALWAYS wants more.

Too cute… thanks for joining and sending the link

It's a very fun site! Thanks for putting your time and skill into this!
Just as a note, the site hasn't worked for me in the past when others have tried to post your cartoons. Sometimes it gives me a "Get Adobe Flash Player" icon (as in this entry: http://drawthedog.com/?p=1409), when I clearly already have it, since I am able to see some cartoons – like this latest installment. Not sure if other folks have reported similar problems or it's just me.
Anyway, you have a very creative website.

Wonderful!! What a great idea and such a delightful picture.
Welcome to the forum - I hope you get lots more photos.
