Hi and thank you for the warm welcome!
Gracielove--Yes yes we've been using pee pee pads since day one, but they still go wherever they want. I guess I'm curious if they're old enough to start training, correcting, etc. They'll be 7 weeks on Wednesday.
We pretty much gate off a safe play area depending if we are in our bedroom or living room and then we have a basic kitchen area where they stay when we leave.
I'm trying to figure out how to upload pics, but here is a link to my public album of the puppies.

And Hi Marilyn, yes that's what I thought they told us back when I bred Kaylie...but Laci's mom was tiny too and had a litter of 6!! And I felt we were safe cuz Jagger (stud) was so tiny, up to a half pound smaller than Laci at times. So I checked with our vet and he didn't seem worried at all...and I think cuz she was only 18 mos when got pregnant helped too. But yes, I was praying the entire time and keeping a very close watch on her, even had X-rays. We were prepared for the cost of ER visit/c-section, whatever it took. We were very blessed that she had no complications, altho she delivered on day 57, they all survived, but the runt was kinda iffy first cpl days. Laci is a very tough Yorkie...I was with her every minute and so proud. Please check out link above for tons of puppy pics!
