Hi,
Bella's potty pads from T Bumpkins and Co. arrived!
Not only do they work, but here's a play-by-play typed commentary on exactly what happened, in order, from the moment I opened the box. Me: Picks up Nature's Miracle disposable pad and throws it in the trash.
Bella: Sniffs at the empty spot on the carpet and sits there with her head hanging down.
Me: "Bella, where'd your potty spot go?"
Bella: "Whimper"
Me: Places T Bumpkins & Co washable potty pad down (the one with roosters on it) right where the disposable one was.
Bella: Sniffs around all over it, but doesn't go potty.
Me: "What's that, Bella!?"
Bella: Walks over to the blanket (also made of cotton) on the beanie bag on the floor, and starts smelling it.
Me: (in my head) Oh crap...
Bella: Walks between the two looking confused.
Me: (in my head) still saying oh crap
Bella: Picks up her pink squeaky ball from Petco, and places it on the blanket on the beanie bag and begins to squeak it.
Me: GOOD GIRL BELLA!!
Bella: Moments later, stands up from chewing her toy, walks over to the washable pad and pees in the middle of it.
Me: GOOD GIRL BELLA!!
Bella: Goes BACK to the blanket on the beanie bag and starts squeaking again.
Me: GOOD GIRL BELLA!!
....break time because at this point she's wandering around the livingroom looking at boxes (we're moving soon), eating food, playing fetch with me, etc.
Bella: Stops playing fetch, drops the squeaky ball, walks over to the pad and goes poopy!
I LOVE THESE THINGS. I didn't even have to tell her that's what they were for and she knew the difference between her blanket (which is the SAME type of fabric) and the pad.
