Well, I always put potty pads down when I run to the store or am gone for a few hours, upstairs and downstairs.
Copper never uses them as he holds it until I get home and waits to go outside. I wondered if he even knew what they were for anymore.
When he got sick... (I had to run out and pick up my granddaughter from preschool), when I got back he had peed and pooped on the pad 3 times. The next day when he threw up, he did it on the pad upstairs and pooped on the pad downstairs. I was amazed. When your little one is sick, you don't really expect anything...but I have to say he was consistant.
I'm glad to know that he knows what they are for. When the rains come here, the yards are a soggy mess. Hope he remembers then!  |
Good boy Copper and happy to hear he is doing better.
I personally prefer disposable pads because they are more sanitary. I can't imagine washing wee pads in a machine that I use to wash kitchen and hand towels. BTW, I have two washing machines (don't ask -- I am a clean freak). Romeo's wee pad trained and won't go anywhere but on those pads, and then again only at home. Even if we are out for an extended period of time and I try to get him to use the pad in a rest room, the suv trunk, the ground, he just sniffs, walks away and waits until he gets home.
The disposable wee pads are convenient for both Romeo AND me.
