[joy and bella]

hi everyone..my name is joy and my babies name is bella. i am new to this and i think it is GREAT.....i have been reading through and i have learned so much from all of you. Thank you soooo much!!!!

my question is how should i potty train bella....she goes outside when i take her. but she also goes inside...and refuses to go on the pads...instead she lays on them. hehe.....i feel bad leaving her in her crate all day so i bring her with me... i dont know if i am not supposed to do that?
should i try the play pen thing? and if i do ...how long can i leave her in there? any help would be very much appreciated!!!!!
