I have made the path several times to a potty spot. Bubbles get a bit turned off by it sometimes. I guess she likes constant fresh spots...lol. If the going gets tough she will ignore the pee pads for the puppies and sneak off to the throw rug in the bathroom or by the backdoor. What can I do..can't be mad at her. When you gotta go you gotta go. Now the new pups. Kobi will go outside..he loves anywhere and every where but the pee pads. Magic on the other hand loves him a pee pad and will consistently go there, going outside is an issue with him. I swear this weather is horrible on us all.
