We were only planning on crating her at night until she doesn't really get into anything and is pretty much housebroken. We have had her a week and a half and she has only had one accident in the house. She knows to go outside-except for her crate accident yesterday. I thought maybe she would be able to sleep in our room with us and maybe would do better then-hoping she will whine to let us know to go out. More sleep for all of us!!
