Welcome to the Yorkietalk family!
Your little Topher sounds like a little rascal! I love the part where you said he drags the paper into his crate, how funny!
You know your lucky to have him wee-weeing on the peepad, Kloey is 10 months old and she still will pee where ever her little heart desires, but the good thing about yorkies and there little poopoo is its so easy to pick up !
What ever your doing you keep it up, and bless your heart about your little Nighean, It's so hard losing someone we love, even are furkids! 
Have fun posting and remember, there is no dumb questions, we try to answer anything and everything !
