Thanks for the feedback. I think you might be right about lying on the pads as a "bed" when we aren't home. That would make sense. She sees the whole area as her place and doesn't want to soil it. If that is the case, how do I go about changing that thought? Or should I bother and just leave well enough alone? I probably do over analyze. Suggestions? I want her to feel she can plan, eat, sleep, and go on the pads if she needs to.
