Zoey captured in action. She is very lively, when she runs she more bounces then runs. She goes faithfully on her puppy pads now, if she is in another part of the house , if she gets the urge to go, she will run to the kitchen and use the puppy pads. she is at the stage now if I wanted to, I could teach her to use a litter box. some people do that with chihuahuas. there are advantages and disavantages to that. I could see the advantage would be that we could go away for a day and leave her alone and wouldn't need someone to let her in and out. If she were an only dog that would work great, but then I would have the problem of what to do with missy and abby, since they have been trained to go outside. food isn't a problem because all my dogs (cept s'more, who is outside) sorta graze on their food all day long, not like most dogs that gobble their food all gone immediately.
another advantage would be on vacation, when were staying in motels, wouldn't have to walk her outside if its rainy or cold or late at night. So havent decided the litter box issue yet.
