And now my question - we unfortunatley have to leave Lucy at home for up to 9-10 hours a day and we're seeing that her poor little bladder just can not make it that long. She has pretty much made our living room carpet her own wee-wee pad. We talked it over and are considering trying to train her to use the pads when we are away. My fear is that she will only "go" on the pads and not continue to go outside. Do any of you have experience with this? A little background - she's a little over a year old, so I suppose my other question would be, is there any way that she could still be just a puppy and not be able to hold it that long?
