just read your post about your pet problems. i swear that i could have wrote the same thing about a year ago. we also had 2 dogs and a cat, and the same thing was going on here. we had our border collie and the cat together for 5 yrs. before introducing a boston terrier into the mix. things were okay at first and then the boston kept trying to play with the cat and terrorizing the entire house. she wasnt bad, just extremely hyper to the point where the other 2 pets didnt want anything to do with her! sad, actually. anyway, the peeing and pooping in the house by the cat and the boston started. we put up with it for a while, tried the dog training, etc.  eventually, we came to the conclusion that something had to give--we were fighting constantly over it, and not enjoying the pets b/c we were continuously pissed. we decided in the end to give the boston away. it was such a hard decision, but with 2 babies and not a lot of time to devote to a high energy dog, it was only right.

we found a young couple that was friends of our cousins, that had alot of love and time for her. she is living a great life, and we are happy as well. as soon as she was gone, the cat and border collie were buddies again, and all returned to normal. no more peeing, or pet drama! needless to say, the cat had to be put down 2 mos. later due to a heart condition, but it all worked out. we only have the border collie now and life is good. hope this helps.
