I carried her from the crate to the yard and she would immediately pee the minute I set her on the grass. My co-worker, who recently adopted two sheltie boy puppies (maybe you even read the thread) has done the same thing. She has found, though, that it is easier to carry one sheltie downstairs at a time. The main thing is to scoop them up from their crates before they get a chance to christen the carpet!
Pam, I think I'm might have to ask my parents if I can put her crate in my room, (if she keeps it up!) Thanks again, everyone!
