Hello!

Rocky sleeps with us, he is 4yr and 6.5lbs. He paws my face when he needs to get up in the middle of the night. Not very often. I use to think he was playing when he did this in the middle of the night, then I put the accidents on the bathroom rug to the pawing and realized he wanted to get up.

We have a two-story, and the pad is on the main level by the bathroom there. We have a little alcove, the bar, with a counter top and a small refrigerator undert he counter and his pad is by the refrigerator. He will do that scratchy thing after he goes potty and that means "hey I just went, and now I want a good boy treat". Has us traied well ((smile)) But it works, so why stop a good thing.

Works when we go visiting to. I show him where I put the pad and he returns to do the job.

We he was a puppy I kept him in a small area while he was out of the crate and he had to earn more space by being good with the potty thing. He now has the run of the house when we go out. Once in a while we have an accident, but the most part he is good.

He will go through 1 pad a week. He uses the outside when he is out, but I do not say anything. When I was training him to use the pad he wuold scratch at the door to go in!

The breeder is confident of the two getting along. It will be a love/hate relationship at first. She is the same gal we got Rocky from. The puppy will be 1.5 lbs when we get him. He will be in the crate until he earns the space as well.

Now if I could get Rocky to stop barking all the time it would be fine. But he is doing his job!

I still looking for mu bulk #, I re-filed and now I cannot remember where I put it. ((smile))

Loved the chatting!
