Every single day when I get home from wherever it is that I've been gone, Cali has decided to COMPLETELY TEAR UP HER PEE PADS.

I mean, she puts her all into pulling them out the pee pad holder, ripping it to shreds, then of course this makes the holder disconnect and pieces are everywhere. Then, she will still pee and poop on top of this mess. And if she's feeling particularly devilish, she'll pull all the bedding out of her crate and put that on top of the heap of sh-t and p-ss...............very frustrating. Then she'll slop all her toys through the sh-t and p-ss. It's like a cornucopia of sewage right there in the comfort of my own home.

And I know it's because she is bored during the day and is just getting into all types of mayhem. But I figure if everyday I have to clean up all this mess anyway, what is the use of having the pads? Yesterday I made the commitment to myself that she is going to start being trained to pee outside only. I'm not putting no more pads down, she'll either hold it or just pee/poop on the small space outside her crate. And I'm gonna move her, crate, and ex pen from the kitchen to the laundry room (for the times we aren't home). I can't take all this crap in the kitchen anymore.
So, getting back on track, I take her outside to use the bathroom last night at 11:30pm. She was a good girl and held it all the way until she heard my alarm clock go off at 5:30am. I immediately got up, went into the kitchen and saw her about to take a squat

rushed and scooped her up, took her outside, and immediately she pee'd.

I went back in the house and she pooped not long after on the floor, but I wasn't too mad because I hadn't stayed out long (didn't realize she had to poop too). But when we got back in the house, I put her back in her pen, and she pee'd AGAIN! I tried to be calm, cleaned it up, and that was that. *Sigh*......I guess I am just asking for y'all to pray that this works better for us.

I think she became too dependent on the pee pad, but the problem was that she would pee on whatever was furry/fuzzy/soft (rugs, carpet, a shirt that may have fallen on the floor) and I think she is just confused. I want her to pee OUTSIDE!! I hope it works.

Sorry for rambling, just had to get that out.
