I let her out right before I go to bed, around 10pm; but she only pees.

She sleeps in our bed or with my 4 yr. old son. She'll come get me to go out to pee even when she sleeps with my son, just not to poop!

I tried crating her at night when we first got her (at 8wks) but she hated it and just whined. My heart couldn't take it so I let her sleep with me and she just loved it!! (and so did I!) I still crated her during the day when I wasn't home until she got older. I don't crate her at all anymore, she never pees when I gone. I'm a stay at home mom so I'm home most of the time.

How long should I wait outside with her right before bed? I live in VA so it's pretty cold at night. She doesn't like it when it's really cold or raining, even though I put coats on her. She'll pee even though it's cold or raining but won't stay out long enough to poop.
