Princess uses pads primarily, but will potty outside if we're out there, she just wont 'ask' to go out to do it. I thought it would be gross to use pads at first, but it's no big deal to me. Lately after every bite of food or a drink of water she has to go
now, I couldn't keep up with getting shoes, coat, keys, going down 3 flights of stairs to take her out all the time.
People may not like the pads but I'm generally not one to live my life pleasing others before I please myself, and especially not before Princess.

Of course, if she was a Great Dane I may try doing it differently.
