Sounds like things are looking up somewhat for you and Jasmine....I've learned that each day is a new learning day experience for not only my lil furbaby, but myself also....

I just tried putting one of her crates (with the door off) at night in her playpen in the kitchen so that she can relieve herself without me having to take her out at 2:00/4:00 in the morning....it has worked well so far for the past two nights.....she goes in her playpen in the kitchen at 9:00pm and goes into her crate on her own once I turn the lights out....then I don't hear another peep from her till around 6:00 in the morning....when I get up to let her out she has used her potty pad, but to be on the safe side I still let her outside....she has approx an hour to run free downstairs before I put her back in the playpen for the day while I'm at work....

Each furbaby is so individual, with their own personalities......you just have to try what works best for you and they will let you know what they are comfortable with.....

It will get better !!!!!!

Yeah we tried the crate in the kitchen thing. She didn't care for that at all. She would cry and whine most of the night. Since we put it in our bedroom she will go in there when we go to bed. Then she usually only gets up once during the night. Then when get up she is up as well. Of course she thinks it is time to play for hours...LOL Which is sometimes hard to do when you are trying to get ready for work.
