I keep Nikko in the kitchen during the day. I close him in with the baby gate and leave him toys, a wee wee pad, food and water. I feel guilty doing this and every morning my last glimpse of him is his furry little face pressed to the gate looking like he's on death row.
Needless to say I feel awful but I have to do this. he is still a baby and likes to chew on anything that fits in his mouth. But this also means that as soon as I get home, I have to mop the kitchen because he has peed everywhere but on the wee wee pad.
