LOL...they think they are the boss. Nacho will do the same thing. As for the potty pads, my daughter uses them for her weiner dog and she gave me a few of them. Nacho looked at me like "what! you want me to go in the house..REALLY?...lol...he wouldn't use it. turned and walked away...lol..If Nacho was smaller he wouldn't be going out in the cold or snow either. He doesn't like it anyways. It doesn't take him long to go and he is running back in. Sometimes I have to make him go out. He doesn't like the rain either. If there are leaves on my porch (which there is all the time) he will go in them just so he doesn't have to go out in the rain, the little sticker..lol.. Then I have to clean my portch..lol..what we don't do for our babies.
