Thanks, I do love Silk and I do not want to give her back so let me tell you what I have been doing everyday since I got her. First I put pads down but she never used them...for just incase.
Every morning we get up at 6am after sleeping in a kennel. First we go outside to pee and poop. Silk always had to poop first thing. We don't come back into the house unless we pee and poop. I give her and Remmy fresh food and water. She usually eats from 6am till 6:30am. Then I take her outside to pee again at 6:30am sometimes she pees sometime she don't. I try to make it that we dont come back in till she pees but I can't wait all day for her to pee. then at 7am before I get into the shower to go to work we go outside one more time. Then (this is where I could be messing up) I usually let her stay in my room if she went pee the last time, because I work and so does my husband and she is gonna have to be in the kennel from 8 till noon. So for instance this last time she went out at 7am to pee then sometime one of the kids come into my room to talk to me when I am taking a shower and out goes Silk...runs upstairs and pees. But usually after I get ready one more time she goes out. Then she is in her kennel (m-f) till noon when my husband comes home from work at lunch to let them out to go potty. She ususally poop and pee then also. Then have a little lunch. then back into the kennel until 4-5pm when we get home from work. then first thing we do is go outside to potty when we get home. Then I do not want to put her back into the kennel as she has been there all day. That is when my watching her comes in contantly watching her calling her name so I know where she is, following her around. And inbetween all that we go outside a whole lot. Sometimes yes...she goes to the door because she wants out to run around....not to potty. But if she goes to the door I always let her out and tell her to go potty so she knows that going to the door means I need to pee. we finish up around 9:30-10pm and by that time I'm ready for bed. My weekends are spent watching her from 6am till bedtime. I kennel her if I am going out. if I am going out for a short period of time we have a sunroom that we keep the dogs in with thier kennels and food and water.
