I have teo new Yorkie Babies, from different litters.

Elvis weighs 2.7 lbs, DOB 7/13/12
Priscilla weighs a whopping 1.2 lbs, DOB 7/5/12

I got them about 1 1/2 weeks ago...Actually Priscilla will be a week tomorrow.

They sleep together in a crate no issues. I work from my home, so I thought I would confine them to the kitchen, frequent potty breaks etc. Even though I take them out often and they do use the bathroom...there are still quite a few accidents in the kitchen. I cannot always be right there to watch, as work does interfere

I have decided the kindest thing would be to crate them, taking them out still for play and frequent potty breaks. My question is, do you think it is feasible to crate them together during the day while we are learning the art of potty outside, or am I asking for more issues that way?

Thanks for any insight you can give. First time Yorkie's for me....Quite a change from my big ole Boxers!
