I think I need to remind everyone how tiny my little boy is...he's 2 and a half pounds of doggy love...that's all. It's below zero here in Canada and bathing him worries me...especially since he's not been potty trained by the previous owner. He's goes out to eliminate up to 6-7 times a day at the moment. He's been with me for 2 weeks and he's a year old. His bladder can hold it, however it's a learning curve for him to understand that we don't soil where we sleep/live... No way do I agree with pee pads, so please don't even go there, sorry but that's the way I raise my dogs. I just thought I'd make mention of this. Thanks for reading
