I am going to be honest, I use them because I am LAZY

. And it gets really cold here in the winter with foot upon foot of snow and I hated having to bundle my furbutts up and myself every few hours to brave the wind and cold snow or rain. And I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor. I started out with training to go outside. But I was having to get up super early in the mornings to let her out and I was super grumpy about it. Plus sometimes she needed to go out at like 3 in the morning. I couldn't hack it lol Sooo I got some puppy pads so I could train her and then we got another little guy and he learned really quickly as well. I am glad they are trained to go on the pads so this way I can have someone watch them at their house and they don't have to worry about them messing on their floors or having to take them out every few hours. It just seems to make things easier when they are pad trained, given my situation now. They will go outside though. ALso , everytime we went outside it was a big ordeal because all the kids that live in my building would bombard us, i hated it. It made potty time take way longer than it should. This way, my 2 have free roam of the house!
