If you know someone is coming, go outside to greet them. Take puppy for a tiny mini walk a few minutes before the guest comes so her bladder is not full. Also take puppy outside the very first thing when the family comes home, then at least her excited dribbles will be outside. Tell her what a wonderful girl she is when she goes potty outside. She will get the message. It does take time and a lot of patience--and some paper towels. All of this is part of the wonderful thing we call a puppy. Enjoy her baby hood and take tons of photos. You can never have enough baby photos and they grow so fast!
