Julia Rose is six months old and washable pee-pad trained. There is a small end table a few feet away from the pee-pad, it is convenient for storing clean pee-pads, wet wipes and a treat jar. Julia loves her treats some times she fake pees to get a treat. On a few rare occasions she has slightly missed the pad. No scolding, just no get a treat if she misses the pee-pad. A few days ago, Julia did her business then ran to the treat jar. In her rush to get a treat she was not quite done. When a little poo ball fell off her butt on the floor she stopped and looked at it, then up to the treat jar. I could see on her trying to work the problem out. She ran back to the pee-pad and grabbed it on the corner with her teeth, she drug the pee-pad to the poo ball and covered it up. Then she ran to the treat jar for her reward.. Julia Rose got two treats. One for going on the pee-pad and one for making us laugh like two silly kids.

Hilarious! I would love to see that on video!

And kimp5, you have a smarty! I'm just guessing, but I would be tempted to remove the pad after she goes at night before you go to bed. Then put a new one down in the morning. At a year old, she ought to be able to hold it through the night.

But if this causes a setback, I will deny ever offering this advice!
