I am a desperate dog owner, and I need help!

I recently adopted a 1 year old female huskey mix. She is a wonderful, sweet, calm, well manner dog. However, there is one BIG problem. She is not housebroken, and doesn’t seem to be making any headway. Her history is a little sketchy but from I am able to gather is that she has been neglected terribly. Before me her previous owners left her kenneled 99% of the time and did not feed her properly or regularly.

I done ALOT of research over the internet about tips to housebreak your dog. And, I follow them to the letter, but I think because of her past I am still doing something wrong. I read that dogs are den animals and do not like to poop/pee in their kennels because that is “their” space, but she seems to want to hold it until she is in her kennel. She’ll pee outside without a problem and gets plenty of praise and treats for it... But she consistantly, and without fail, holds all her poop until she’s kenneled while I’m working. She just refuses to poop outside.

Maybe if I give you a run down of my day with her, it will help you see what I am doing and what I could change. I don’t want to get rid of her but 1. My house constantly stinks of dog poop. 2. When I get home from work I have to clean the walls and mop the floors around the cage, and take the kennel outside and wash it off. 3. Give her a bath everyday to get the poop off her. 4. It not getting any better. There has been no silver lining.

So, here’s my schedule. Keep in mind I work 2nd shift (4pm-12am):

8am-8:30amFirst bathroom break outside & about 30 minutes of play and sniffing time. When we come inside she is allowed food and water. Because I work second shift we usually go back to bed.
10:30am-11:00am Up for the day. Another potty break & about 30 minutes of play. This time I leave her out while is shower and get ready for the day, so she has about 1.5 hrs outside. If it’s raining she goes into her kennel.
12pmWhen she comes inside I allow her more food and water. I keep her on a leash (or closed off in the room I am in) as I go about my business cleaning, working outside, or just sitting around so I can keep an eye on her and her behavior.
2:30pmOutside again for another potty break. Try to play hard and get ALL her energy out because I’ll be leaving for work.
3:10pmBack inside. Allowed water, but no food. After she has had her fill she’s kenneled while I’m at work. I tried to allow her chew toys and a blanket but she ruins them with feces so I can’t allow her anything in her kennel.
12:20AMHome from work... And, she’s pooped in her kennel, and kicked most of it out. I put her outside, but I can’t watch her this time because I have to mop the floors, clean the kennel, wipe down the walls, and get a bath going to clean the poop on her off. This cleaning takes about 1.5 hrs, plus bath time. Then she is allowed more food & water.
When ever all the clean-up is done, it’s bed time. I keep her on a leash and next to the bed. And, she won’t have an accident throughout the night.

P.S. She’s been to the vet and has no medical problems.

I have had my car loan for about a year now, and have never missed a payment. My co-signer declared bankruptcy about six months ago, but my finance company told me as long as I continued to make the payments they would contact me about removing the co-signer/refinancing to make me sole borrower. They never contacted me, but I continued to make the regular payments by check (which they cashed each month) but now the company is telling me I am three months behind and they are going to repossess. I had no prior correspondence (either written or verbal) about non-payment or even late payment until about a week ago when they started threatening repo. I am already requesting the cancelled checks from my bank to show proof of payment, but is there anything else that can be done? I am just so frustrated that I have done nothing wrong (i.e. I have been faithfully paying for my vehicle on time and the full payments) for over a year and am now facing this. Help!

A bandmate of mine borrowed my keyboard without telling me. I told him that he could use to record his music, but only when I leave to go on vacation (that's what the original agreement was). He proceeded to take it earlier than expected (I'm not leaving for another 3 weeks), and he did not inform me of this. I'm afraid that he may be lying and that he might take it to a party to play. In addition, he does not know HOW to play it, so I'm afraid that someone else might at the party mess around with it. How should I go about confronting him and laying down the law that this is unacceptable - I paid for it, you don't know how to play it, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: it's mine!
