What about odor in the house with the pads in the winter......when the house is closed up. I have a very small house[ not joking at all here] and I don't want to smell it with my super nose when I walk in the door LOL.....I have cats and even on some days that bugs me[ the smell of litter].

My concern is weather and my health. I got the dog because I am stuck here. He goes most of the time outside but right now he's going outside so many times my head is spinning[ and still making mistakes]. We bought puppy pads but haven't used them. Right now he can't even get down the two steps to the utility room if I were to put it there so it's kitchen or living room which I can see[ or bathroom which really doesn't have room for a pee pad and people LOL...

I told my hubby the only way a dog would help my anxiety [ since I have been sick] is if I nap in the afternoon[ sometimes after meds and NOT on purpose] if I didn't wake up to step in peep and poo.....

Help ....so many differing ideas....Once I use the pad in one spot if he can then make it down the steps to the utility room and move the pad will he use it there or will it be training all over again. I don't mind taking him out but I am no supposed to be alone outside for long[ my seizures give me no warning and if it's freezing I could lay in the snow for a long long time----need to train the dog to call 911]

see......right now not anxiety reliever[ and right now my one cat who is typically a loner thinks my yorkie is it's best friend and now he's barking like a nutso dog...better get him before he wakes up hubby who works thirds and sleeps during the day OOOPS
