I fear this will be me in a month! I am planning to use pee pads for the puppies so that I don't have to get up in the night.
I had a very scary incident happen to me about 12 year ago with a puppy that I had at the time and she had to go at 3am. If I had known about pee pads then she would have been bought some the next morning to use at night in the kitchen! I am still terrified to go outside late at night because of that.
I also plan to use pee pads so that I can leave them for a few hours once in while and not worry about if they have to potty.
I looked into washable ones, however what I use for crate liners are bed pads and I think they would think their crate liner is a pee pad, so I went with disposable pee pads. We will see how quickly that gets old I guess. I bought them online so I paid about 10 cents each for them by buying a bunch. I might still look into washable ones when they aren't going 50 times a day so it wouldn't be as bad to wash.
Sounds like your trip was a success! I have a feeling she will tell him what is what very soon and he will probably always remember that! I know how females can be. I expect my daughter's female pup coming home next week will run the house soon enough and walk all over all 3 male dogs!
