Regressive Steps

Bella peed in the house yesterday. We were both shocked. She gave no indication she wanted to go outside and, in fact, had been out within the past three hours. I came around the corner and there was a huge, warm puddle, so she must have just done it though I didn't catch her in the act. Not feeling well? She certainly hadn't acted ill prior to the pee, however she was quite subdued the rest of the evening.

This hasn't happened since she was four months old, so all I can think is either she just plain forgot (she was playing with a ball), or she's feeling under the weather. Normally her capacity is outstanding. She goes to bed around 8:30PM in the evening and doesn't go outside until 6:30AM in the morning. Therefore this little "blip" is really quite extraordinary.

Last night around 1:30AM, she was rustling around in the bedroom. I got up and let her outside and instead of just standing on the stoop and sniffing, she did go into the yard. Is something going on in her gut? Maybe her tummy is upset or she has a bladder infection, although she isn't indicating either. Luckily my husband is retired and home to watch her today. Otherwise I'd need to come home between classes and check on her.
