man if that potty pad isn't wet i'm going to be completely thrilled that she might actually already be holding it all day WOW go Sadie!!
I don't think there is a health issue here, she has every opportunity to pee on the pads or floor and she has water all day, and she may have peed on the pads and DH can't see it soaked in....but if she does hold it 8 hours is that still healthy for her?? |
It's probably fine, I know from when Stella was little, and even now, while I'm gone she really doesn't run around or play (all of her toys are always in the same place when I get back) she just sleeps and waits...and usually doesn't need to use her puppy pad, even if I'm gone all day. As long as she's eating something (a treat, a snack, kibble...whatever) while you're gone for 8 hours at 7 weeks old I would think that's fine. What a good girl you have though!
