My dog is going potty in the house suddenly after…..(warning: a bit long)?

So about 2 months ago I adopted a 9 year old Min Pin. She was adjusting well and took to me and my boyfriend like glue. We never had any problems with her she has actually been the best dog. The previous owner told me she was crate trained and was used to sleeping in a crate from 7am – 3pm, well my hours are much less then that, but when I put her in the crate she fought like crazy and the entire 3 hours she was in there my neighbors told me she was shrieking none stop. So I tried leaving her out of the crate and she did fine no crying, no destruction, and no accidents.
The last week give or take a few days she has three accidents that I found one poop was all over my living rooms and yesterday she peed on my shirt. The other accident I do not think I can blame on her she got into my birds seeds and was not feeling well and her schedule was messed up but was after the first accident. I take her out at 8 am my boyfriend takes her out at 11am and 2pm I come home at 5pm and she gets about a 30-45 min walk and then depending on the weather we go out at 7pm and 9pm this is herschedule every day she eats at 10:15am and 8:15pm her food is homemade from a vet recipe reccomendation due to food allergies and takes prescibed vitamins. I also hae a 10 month old puppy who is crated but they are out together when some one is home both dogs play and get exercise.
It is not jealousy of having the other dog around because she came from a house with another dog and a baby and her and my dog hang around each other and play and sleep together. I just took her to the vet and they said everything was normal (this was after the bird seed chow down). Could it just be her old age? Or is it something else? I also do not think its terretorial because she keeps hiding the messes she is making. She is also confind with baby gate to the livingroom when and nothing is on the floor or in hear reach except dog toys, her crate, and her bed.

Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
It might be seperation anxiety either from her previous family or you and your BF. Leaving a dog around the house gives him freedom to poop wherever and whenever she wants to and is not recommended for her own safety. Make sure her crate is the right size and in the beginning, crate her while you’re still at home carrying on your regular duties so she doesn’t associate the crate with you leaving. Make it a pleasant experience and treat her in her crate often. This way when you leave her, she’ll be at peace. Remain quiet and clam when you return and reward her BEFORE she leaves the crate or she’ll think she has to get out of the crate to be treated. You’re doing a really good job with the excercise, but make sure you’re also playing with her. All dogs need mental stimulation as well as physical. Hope your situation gets better!
she might have a urine infection or week bladder control due to her age take her to the vet if it continues
its only an accident nothing to do with eexerciseor other dogs . perhaps she isn’t trained properly
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary passing of urine. Pets can be incontinent for many different reasons. Those reasons can involve the bladder, the urethra which is the tube from the bladder to the outside, or incontinence can be caused by abnormalities in the parts of the brain and spinal cord that control bladder function. Incontinence can be confused with diseases that cause a pet to urinate frequently. A physical exam and laboratory tests will help in the proper diagnosis.
