AWWW what a face! I love those wrinkles! I don't think anyone can tell you what to do, but... I got my puppy in November. I was in school and we had to house train her in the winter. It really wasn't a big problem. My parents are always home too so Daisy had someone with her all day. Basically, if you are going to be responsible about it, I think everything would be okay. And I just love her face!
