Do your babies hold themselves all day while you're at work? If so how did you do it? I figure I can let them out into the yard before I go to work, and I'd like to come home and let them out then, without having to see pee/poo on the ground. Is it too much to expect them to not go all day? Rocco is still a puppy and we're working on the training thing. I just don't want him peeing all over our new house with WHITE carpets  |
Congrats on the house purchase!!
They learn to hold. Keep in mind that Luu is now 8 1/2 months. I get up at six and walk Lulu and she eats her breakfast. I walk her one last time beore I leave for work and take the kids to school. She then gets walked at three when they get home and then again at five thirty when I get home with no accidents. It helps that I have her on a feeding schedule. Lulu eats in the morning and then again at around six at night. She is a tiny thing and we have never had problems. Matter of fact yesterday I got held up at work and she was actually at home for almost eleven hours and when I got home I was expecting to find a mess...none in site. She held it. As soon as I got there though she was like mommy I need to go potty and took off outside so fast that it wasn't funny...she literally was a blurr. I was expecting an accident or two...but she did me proud. She is an awesome baby.
FYI I would actually keep baby away from the white carpets...that definitely should be a room that is off limits. Once they go on that carpet you can't ever really expect to get it fully cleaned....because the pee seeps into the padding under the carpet. I am now getting back around to putting down some throw rugs in the house (hubby is happy as a clam).
