    this just keeps getting better and better
    My adult dog has had to wait for upwards of 12+ hours before and I totally understand if she has an accident while waiting for me.
    I agree - where are YOU going to be for 12 hours and why can't she go with you?
    This should have been taken into consideration when you got such a tiny dog. It isn't going to be like Roxey - isn't she outside? There is no potty training to that. You may just have to block her off in a tiled area with puppy pads or a litter box. How would you like to be stuck in a small cage (and I say this b/c you emphasized that it was her size) for 12 hours. Trust me I know the guilt of putting a dog in there. I worked 12 hour shifts myself when I had my greyhound and to this day I can't honestly say if her having to hold it this long may have attributed to her seizures and ultimate death.
    I really am not 'mad' at you but your mom should have really thought this thru.

    And actually Jackie - I think that goes against what all I have ever heard about small breeds. That their bladders are smaller altho of course their bladders are the right size relative to their body size but they have to be let out more frequently then bigger breeds.



    I guess you learn something new everyday.
    I am not really sure WHO learned something but ok..... b/c I still stand by what I have read in several magazines and books.
