eureka, as i call all my erika friends :) how'd you litter box train them? did you crate train them?
Vet says we have to potty pad her inside right now until she gets over what "was" Kennel Kough and is now a full blown Respiratory Infection. So for now, inside, but soon enough, no Pander, we are tough and make dogs be dogs... no pussies here :) thanks for any and all help, truly! tw On 1/17/06, Erika L.
