Doggie Do Dos

So it is 6:22 am here in England and I'm wide awake. One of the main reasons is that I have to work today but have a birthday party to go to tonight so I need to run this morning so I can get my workout in and go to school relaxed. We are having a problem with Maggie again peeing and pooping in the house. Last night Tim got up at 3am to let her out and yet when we woke up this morning there was a pile of shit in the dining room. Since I have started working and I'm leaving shortly after Tim (around 730-8a) and not getting home til around 330-4p Maggie has been going in the house while we are gone. And not just a little, ALOT! She has peed I think everyday this week except yesterday and there is at least one pile if not 2 when I get home. I think she might need some more exercise. I think alot of it has to do with the fact that no one is here for the majority of the day. She isn't a dog that likes to be left alone. Even if half the day she is sleeping on the bed with no one around the fact that someone is home I think is comforting to her but what do you do? I guess I'm going to have to get up that much early to take her for a quick walk in the morning so that she feels some what satsified until one of can get home to let her out. The best part (really the worst part) is that I just steam cleaned the carpet that she keeps pissing and pooping on. Another hurtle I guess. Okay, looks like the sun is coming up enough for me to run the trail. I ran on the road last night cause it was so dark and I think trail running has made me faster. I did about 2.5 miles and I know that I could have gone farther just don't like running around here at night even if they are on main roads. Okay, running away...literally. :-)
