my girl Dolly has gone 12 hours without going. I am just a little concerned.

here is the story. we went out last night to a dinner party, did not get back until 3am. I took her out as soon as I got back, she went right away and everything seemed fine. this morning, I took her out again around 8:30am, she played and played for about 40mins, but did not go potty (I was watching closely). so we came back in the house, took her out again and again, she kept playing and sniffing BUT doing her business. FINALLY, she just went right before 3pm. and thats 12 hours in between.

Dolly is about two years and nine months old, not a puppy anymore. but isn't it true that they cannot go longer than 8 hours? especially the smaller ones. I mean Dolly is the real small and fragile type, sometimes I think too fragile to be a dog LOL. how is it possible that she has such a strong bladder. I don't know if its because I took her out at 3am which was very unusual and that messed up her schedule, or is it a health issue?

has your yorkie ever gone without peeing for this long?
