Hi Fasteddie,
Thank you for responding to my problem. Maggie's crate is 13X23. It came with a grow wall that you can adjust as they grow. We have the area choked down to about 13X10. The latest is a mess. I got so concerned about her tee teeing in her crate that I slept with one eye open and took her outside every two hours--all through the night. I figured if she got use to that, then she would say something to wake me up. Well, after about 4 nights of that, I literally went into a sleep coma. I was totally exhausted to the point I was confused. Now what I'm doing is leaving the crate door open at night. I take her outside before bedtime and an additional two more times during the night. I have been leaving a tinkle pad out at night, just in case. So far we have a dry tinkle pad every morning. During the day she is taken out after she eats, sleeps, and plays. If you ask her if she needs to go tee tee, she will beat you to the door every time. She is so smart, just that she has a very tired mommy. They say that Yorkies are great for the elderly, retired and handicapp. Well, I'm two out of three. No wonder God doesn't give us babies. We couldn't keep up without crashing out----like me.
