which is all carpet (even the restroom!)
she is completely potty trained because i bought her from the breeder that way and she hasnt had an accident off the newspaper i put in the kitchen (for emergencies at night) yet. but im scared that upstairs might be a different story. |
i used baby gates with Layla, if you watch her try and go down the stairs, you'll notice how "top heavy" she is... her head weighs so much that she will topple down the stairs. As she gets bigger this will change but when they are so tiny their little head weighs a lot in comparison to her body.. so for now i'd use the gates...
