Rocky is on a schedule that has been pretty consistent for the past week. We have only had him a week, and what we do is a 6AM bathroom/feeding/bathroom and toss in another bathroom break
... the same goes for lunch and after work.
Well this morning it was my G/F's turn to take him out; generally I do the morning and lunch times and she is more involved in the evening. She said that he didn't eat this morning and what he did instead was sleep some more, but he had been asleep for hours! Therefore his cycle is now broken, he got no morning meal and he didn't #2 for us like he usually does in the morning. When I got home today he did his business in the crate. In addition after his meal he wouldn't go #2 for me, and we were out there for as long as my lunch hour allowed.
I'm concerned b/c I want to keep him on the same schedule, and I'm now expecting him to go #2 again in his crate because it will be 5 hours until we get off work. Generally he has an accident, and there isn't much we can do about this b/c of our work schedule. It's just frustrating b/c we were doing so well.
Anyways, what should we do? I'm assuming just try to get back on track this evening? In addition, we are going camping this weekend, so things are going to be very different, will a few days of change cause us a major setback?
