Do they pee and poo before they walk or do they walk then come back and poo inside?

I'm just trying to figure out a schedule for Lexi.

For example when I eat, I don't want to run right after... are dogs the same?
because I see her eating and then running back for more food.

Last night she held her pee 8 hours! I was surprised because the pee pad wasn't even wet. This morning was a LOOONG one! LOL

I let mine out, as soon as they wake up...If I didn't, they'd pee on the floor...lol...Then I wait about 1/2 hr. to feed them...I've read you should not walk them for about 1/2-1 hr. after they eat...I think the article even said, before they eat too...However, sometimes, I'm pressed for time, and we'll do a walk, in the late afternoon, and then come back and eat...I usually wait about 15 minutes, before I feed them, in the evening, after a walk...Congrats on the 8 hr. hold! That's a mile-stone, to be sure...
