Thank you all for your wonderful support. Today I feel a whole lot more confident about my baby girl. Last night we spent a whole lot of time going outside and coming in and she did beautifully. I guess I just didn't let her stay out long enough for the potty to happen, but yesterday after I got home from work and spent time with her, she did great. I do feel bad about the crate thing though - just hate to have to keep her in there for so long - boy is she happy to see me when I get home. I get saturated with puppy kisses for 5 to 10 minutes. I'm not used to all this affection - I've always had cats. I do love her though and I think as you all say, a lot of love, consistency, and perserverance will pay off in the long run. Thanks again everyone Oh by the way, I took some pictures of her last night. I plan on taking a whole lot more and will get them out for all to see just as soon as I can
