I started used a product called "Pish Pads" with my Maltese, Biscuit about a year ago and have been using them with Muffin since she came home 2 months ago. My dogs love them. The Pish Pads were developed by two Maltese breeders and they are WONDERFUL!! They are easy to use and ultimately much more economical than the disposable pads and they can't rip them to shreds either! The pads come in rolls and you just cut them to whatever size you want. They are felt-like material on the topside and plastic on the underside. You just throw them in the washing machine and dry them in the dryer.
I don't know how to do a link but the web site is
