I have had
great luck with the pee pads that I get at Wal-Mart, $6 something for 32 of
them. The are called OUT! Deluxe training pads. But dont feel bad about
keeping your babies in the kitchen, as long as they have water, a place to pee
and a soft blanketed snuggly spot to sleep I am sure they are happy when you
are away. I think chis like small safe places I have a small crate for
Trinity that I leave the door open and more often than not that is where she
loves to burrow with her soft toys and blanket.
We recently
got a male chi and he is just following her lead, she pees outside so does he,
she pees on the pad so does he. Our carpets and furniture love this
arrangement. I think I am lucky that he is not a leg lifter, he pees
like a girl. Actually that leads me to a question for the group, do your
male chis lift or squat? Sorry for the blunt question. Just
wondering, (personally, I think I like the squatting version better the
constant leg lifting my sisters bigger dogs do. Thanks for any
answers.
~Patricia,
Trinity and now, Jay-Jay

Dear...
Okay
folks, so I have a problem. A disgusting problem, so maybe one of
you can
offer some advice. I have 2
Chihuahua's and I let them have
free roam of my apartment while I'm at work. I'm usually gone from
9-
5, and I feel guilty locking them in the kitchen all day. The problem
is-they urinate all over the carpet. I've put towels out for them to
go on, but it's hit and miss. Any suggestions?
Thanks-
