I appreciate all the responses!

I only haven't responded back since every time I write something, I get the message that a moderator needs to approve it before it gets posted and I never know how long that's gonna take.

Anyway, for everyone saying she's too young for potty training and supposedly can only hold her business for a couple hours, this is untrue. My friend, who has raised more than a few small dogs and who I've been leaving her with when I go to work, got her sleeping in her kennel all night (~6-7 hours) with no accidents. When she's with me, she sleeps in my bed and while I have a puppy pad on the corner of my bed, she usually doesn't use it or need it so long as we go out first thing in the morning (afternoon) when I sense she is becoming restless.

I dunno. We have our good days, better days, and frustrating days. You guys are right in one thing for sure though; I need to remember she's just a tiny puppy and not lose my patience with her. It's tough trying to get her housebroken, socialized, and not biting all at the same time. I do spend a good majority of my free time working/playing with her.

But she's my little Bunny Bee so I love every minute (or try to lol)

Anyway, I'm not gonna give up

I appreciate everyone's input.
