Thanks so much for the input! ITA about keeping them confined in one area, she had two days of semi-free run of the kitchen and living room but it was too much freedom so we got her an expen and we put her crate in the middle with a potty pad and her food, toys etc. Hmm...maybe I should cover the bottom with potty pads and that will get her used to it and save the carpet LOL.
I'm just glad that she's starting to get the going outside part. This am she did her poo right away (probably because it was so cold out)
