T Bumpkins peepee pads are awesome.
 

Hi,

Bella's potty pads from T Bumpkins and Co. arrived!

Not only do they work, but here's a play-by-play typed commentary on exactly what happened, in order, from the moment I opened the box.

Me: Picks up Nature's Miracle disposable pad and throws it in the trash.
Bella: Sniffs at the empty spot on the carpet and sits there with her head hanging down.
Me: "Bella, where'd your potty spot go?":eek:
Bella: "Whimper"
Me: Places T Bumpkins & Co washable potty pad down (the one with roosters on it) right where the disposable one was.
Bella: Sniffs around all over it, but doesn't go potty.
Me: "What's that, Bella!?"
Bella: Walks over to the blanket (also made of cotton) on the beanie bag on the floor, and starts smelling it.
Me: (in my head) Oh crap...:confused:
Bella: Walks between the two looking confused.
Me: (in my head) still saying oh crap
Bella: Picks up her pink squeaky ball from Petco, and places it on the blanket on the beanie bag and begins to squeak it.
Me: GOOD GIRL BELLA!!
Bella: Moments later, stands up from chewing her toy, walks over to the washable pad and pees in the middle of it.
Me: GOOD GIRL BELLA!!
Bella: Goes BACK to the blanket on the beanie bag and starts squeaking again.
Me: GOOD GIRL BELLA!!

....break time because at this point she's wandering around the livingroom looking at boxes (we're moving soon), eating food, playing fetch with me, etc.

Bella: Stops playing fetch, drops the squeaky ball, walks over to the pad and goes poopy!


I LOVE THESE THINGS. I didn't even have to tell her that's what they were for and she knew the difference between her blanket (which is the SAME type of fabric) and the pad.

Also, I wanted to say THANK YOU to Cathy for all her hard work.

These are a lot higher quality than I thought they would be! They're just gorgeous...and I must admit it was a bit hard on me seeing Bella potty on something so pretty. :D

This is great! Bella is doing us proud! I'm so glad the pads met your expectations and that you are happy with the purchase. Thank you again!

Yup Cathy is amazing! :thumbup::thumbup:

If they are washable and it takes the odor out, what makes a dog use it?

It doesn't take the odor out completely for a dog. To us humans (when it's washed properly), we can't detect the smell, but a dog will always smell it, however faint it is.

Additionally, when I purchased these, I put them in the *exact* spot her disposables were...didn't put them in new areas, etc. I think that helped.

We have one by the back door, and Bella uses that one for poopy. We have another by the front door, and she uses that one for pee pee. Don't ask me why...she has several strange little potty habits. lol!
