Thanks everyone!

She can be so naughty but she DOES have me wrapped around her little paw!!!!!

We are using puppy pads religiously and exclusively, because she isn't allowed outside for a few more weeks, vet's orders due to the infection she arrived with. Not until she's been off her anti-biotics and special vitamins for at least two weeks and is doing well.

So we have two puppy pads in one part of the house, one in the bedroom and one on the bed, where she sleeps with me.

Generally, the pads are used...but she has a lot of accidents. A few a day. I guess it is to be expected at this point. She isn't expected to get very big so the vet said we'll probably always be using pads.....I'm sure most of you can relate to this, as these are tiny little babies!

I've had one friend suggest maybe one of those pellet litter boxes for puppies, but I think we would start having problems with the cats in that instance since at one point we were using pellet litter for the cats.....it'd be way too confusing for everyone! lol

thanks for the welcomes!!!!!!!!
