I really identify with your problem. I don't sleep either so that is what caught my eye when looking through the thread titles.

I have two (yep, two!) 5 month old Yorkies - sisters. During the day we do splendidly. They have an ex pen in the kitchen/family room. We almost never have an accident. The problem is at night!

They sleep in a bathroom with a baby gate. They have crates with open door and lots of paper on the floor. Some nights I get lucky. Other nights (like last night) not so much.

This morning I was awake by 4:00, so before 5:00 I went ahead and got up hoping I would beat them to the pee and poop. Well, I found the biggest mess in the world. They had peed on the paper and the awful part is they BOTH had pooped and had scattered it all over the place . . . get ready for gross, and were eating it.

If I crate them separately with door shut, they protest! I've never crated them together with door shut. Don't know how that would work.

Any suggestions?
