I went through the guilty dog mommy stage too, but it passed. I have many reasons for using pee pads: 1. I'm lazy. I live in an apartment and I'm not the type to want to take my dog outside to go potty at 6am in February when it's 12 degrees outside. 2. Yorkies have itty bitty bladders. I like him to have the option to go whenever he wants. 3. I travel quite a bit and it's nice to know that we never have to worry about finding a spot to potty.
And besides those reasons, Howie prefers it!! I always joke and say that his a$$ is too good for grass. But, really, we'll go out for a walk and he'll hold it until we get inside (especially in colder weather). You have absolutely zero to feel guilty about!!!! |
