[QUOTE=Nancy1999;3399630]I have about 15 I made out of white towels I found on sale, and then I bought another 5 more that have a waterproof pad underneath. When Joey was a puppy, he'd only go one time on a pad, so I needed white so I could see the mark, otherwise he'd go on the carpet. Now that he's older, he doesn't go as often, but it's a larger amount so the store-bought pads work better, and I've just been putting the homemade ones on top of them, so I have no mistakes on carpet. I wash once a week, and never run out. I like to do a full load as not to waste water, and you shouldn't wash with other things. I keep a pad upstairs and one downstairs where he prefers to do his pooping in privacy. I store the dirty pads in wicker baskets, it's so dry here there's never of an odor problem, but you could use a diaper pail if that's a problem. The ones I purchased are very thin, but very absorbent, and when I have more of them, I'll get rid of the homemade ones.[/QUOTE
I use the disposable ones...even the dollar store here carries them. I am training a litter of puppies to use them. They are now 7 weeks and they hit the spot about 75% of the time. Their momma hates them but has used them in the past(I think by mistake lol). She goes outside and I hate that because it's cold here, we have hawks,owls and the hunters say we have alot of bear tracks in our woods. I am not a seamstress but how would you make the washable ones? |
