Gracie and Cessy always did so well with the potty pads, but we'd also go outside several times a day....
Since it's been so cold here and they don't go outside now, I have two potty pads down, one at each end of the house ..... they do use them... BUT, they've taken to ALSO peeing on ANY "pad" that's on the floor....
I had thought about those washable pee pads and decided against them for this very reason.... I figured if they were trained to potty on material of any type (other than the ONE disposable potty pad type they've used since they were born) then what would stop them from pottying on ANY material in the house.... (I saw some Boots n' Barkley washable potty pads and they were almost as "elegant" as some of their bedtime blankets!!)
Yet, even without ever having used the washable pee pads, we had to take up every rug in the house because the girls think that they are their very own designer pee pads!!! ugh!! They're okay with the laid carpet.... it's just rugs ON the carpet, or in the hall on the wood floor, etc... |
