Jen,
Actually I did leave just a tiny bit of kibble down for her last night. She eats 2 x day. I'm going to look into those pad holders. Any idea where I can find them? Today it was raining really bad out and didn't want to take her outside. She usually goes in my dining room and makes a piddle (even though she was just out), so today, I put a pee pad there. Sure enough she went on it...maybe it was just pure luck. Tonight before leaving for work, I put only 2 pads down and taped them in place in the xpen. Before I was lining the whole floor. I didn't leave any food either, just a small amount of water. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be better when I get home.
