Thanks everyone for the advice. The girls slept until after 5 this morning so that parts going well. The housebreaking is an ongoing battle. I've never seen dogs tinkle as much as these little gals! We go outside and make it most of the time. It's just when they are awake I have to watch them constantly. If they're moving they're looking for a place to tinkle. I have the pee pads but getting them to stay on them long enough to go is the challenge. Once I let them out of the crate in the morning, it's chaos. These tiny dogs can really move fast. I love them already so it's just a case of keeping the carpet cleaner and air deodorizer handy. All of the floors are hardwood except for an area under the pool table that is carpet tiles and naturally the carpet is where they want to go. Luckily when we put down the carpet we had a lot of tiles left over. We'll probably be using them when the housebreaking is over. I do know it's tough to crawl under the pool table because they go right to the center. Cleaning up piddle or worse with puppies attacking your feet while you're lying on the floor is a bit tricky. I love the idea of a pouch for carrying them. I was going to look for either an apron or just the top to a set of scrubs to carry them in. I know when I had my other Chihuahua and had to board him at the vets the girls there carried him in their pockets. Thanks again. I'm hoping this won't take forever. hubby had to leave for a 60 day work assignment and I'm hoping that by the time he gets back the girls will be perfectly behaved. Dream on right?
