You can do what I do......and let my babies sleep in bed with me.  I have yet to have a problem with pottying on the bed, or well in the house either!!! I got very lucky!!! Hopefully you will too! We use the disposible potty pads and have recently purchased the 'potty patch', which Jett loves, and Bella thinks is 'stupid'......(I know if she could talk this is what she would tell me. LOL) I keep the potty pads spread throughout the house, and keep one in the master bath for night time potty time. Works amazingly!!! Spread throughout the house sounds like my house is covered in potty pads......thats why we never have accidents. ROTFL No what I mean is one in each room the babies frequent. Family room, dining room, computer room, and 2 bathrooms!
How old is your Nolita?? Congrats!!!!! |
The boyfriend will completely object to the dog on the bed (he already feels emasculated enough, poor sucker!!!) and is kinda repulsed by the potty patch. I agree, there's a reason why we didn't get a cat (well, mostly that cats suck and want to suck your souls out through your eyes. But the smelly litter box too).
She'll be seven weeks when I pick her up.
AND HEY. HEY. I've read a lot of posts, I know all the reasons why she should stay until 12. If I had found this forum before I bought her I would have found another breeder (I had doubts, but reassurance by my mother, who also got her first yorkie at 7 weeks with no problem, dissuaded me). I've read and understand the things she'll be missing out on with her mom and litter mates, but I'm hoping to keep her socialized and be a proper owner with training. As much as a delight the breeder has been (she really has been wonderful, aside from this one thing), I won't be recommending her to others.
But that does lead me to another question. Can someone walk me through the timeline for parvo vaccines? I know that she's got some now through her mother's milk, but how long should I wait to take her to get hers. I heard a week, I heard 10 days, I heard waiting until she's a few weeks older.
And I want to get her out and socialized, she'd be fine with vaccinated pups, right? As long as they've had their booster?
