I read that stress can cause eliminating on furniture, too. It may have been that because she seemed to be shaking some this morning when I went down to pet her (she was just hanging out in dining room, not crated), particularly after D came downstairs (and was one floor away from dog). She seems like a really sweet dog (like she curled up with her head on my lap to take a nap yesterday), so hopefully she'll find an owner/owners who can really appreciate her!
