I guess I've lucked out with my little 12 pound Wolfy - and I think he must be hollow inside or have a super-sized holding tank. He goes pee-free at least 12 hours every night. Yes - EVERY NIGHT he holds it this long. There have also been a few instances of 14 or 15 hours - and not so much as a dribble. We go out between 6 and 7 every night, and don't go out again till about 7 the next morning. And there's no sense of urgency to it - he waits patiently till I get my jacket and shoes/boots on, put his harness on him and leash him up, open the door, and out we go. He doesn't go flying off the porch and let loose wherever his feet hit the ground either. Nope - he leisurely walks down the steps and then noses around for a minute to find just the perfect spot. Now that the time has changed and we have more daylight, we'll be able to go out later at night too. He doesn't like the dark much, and living in a rural area with no streetlights and only the floodlights on the corners of the house, I'm not real fond of being outside in the dark for long either.
Of course it's the same during the day if I need to be gone for any length of time. I can leave for a spine appointment in Baltimore first thing in the a.m., and not get back till late afternoon, and never an accident from the Wolfman. He's such a GOOD boy.
