Anyone want a dog???

No, I am not serious-the dogs are not for sale, but man last night I sure wished we didn't have dogs sometimes. Don't get me wrong. I love our dogs, but they are a lot of work. Addison, our chihuahua, rat terrier mix has decided to go on a little behaving strike. She has been peeing on our new rug in the living room lately. At least we have expected it to be her. We have just never been able to catch her in the act. That is until yesterday. And let me just preface this by saying that Thursday night I rented a rug doctor and cleaned the rug and couch and love seat really well. Then yesterday evening, I was playing with Cale on the rug and Addie came over and squatted right next to me and began to pee! I of course yelled at her, which freaked Cale out and caused him to start crying. I think Addie got the point that I was not happy with her and she went and hid in her kennel. So we took her to the vet today and he thinks it's mostly behavioral, but she had a urinalysis and she does also have possibly the beginning stages of a urinary tract infection. So $120 later after test and medicine charges we are home with our misbehaving dog. As of right now, Bailey and Addison are no longer allowed in the living room while we are gone and are not allowed on the furniture anymore. We did buy them new beds they could lay on in the house. Any suggestions for jealous dogs? I really think that Addison is just jealous of the time we spend with Cale. We give both of our dogs plenty of attention. I am just hoping it's a phase and will be over soon!
