It cant be because her bladder is so small, becuase she will sleep in her bed(couch bed thingy) for a few hours, or sleep with me for several hours also and she dont pee, and I have made it so small of an area ,then I have taken the cushion and blankets out so she wont pee in it . we were letting her lay on blankets so it wouldnt wet the cushion,but I dont know what to do! please please tell me it will get better, because the thing I feared for so long about getting a dog, is that I wouldn't be able to deal with it and I would break my kids heart and get rid of it, but I do love her, so I dont want to do that..but Im tired already !

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Please be patient with your little girl. She was taken away from her mother and siblings much too young. Puppies that young do much better if they are in a x-pen where they are not confined in a small crate. Things will get better as she gets older. Just remember yorkies are a huge responsibility and it is like having another child. How old are your children?
