Poor Carol Jean. I think every one of your excuses is valid. But don't give up. Your life will get infinitely better if you can potty train your pup. Your Yorkie is just getting to the age where he should be able to hold it while you're sleeping. Just be consistent. Watch how he acts around the house, and if he looks like he has to go outside, let him. Praise him if he goes. Treat accidents with a "no" and a trip outside. I don't know what others do, but I put the poop in a napkin and carry it outside in the yard and drop it where I want them to go. Treat successes with praise. I know it seems impossible, but it works.
