Potty Training Is A Bitch

I have a Yorkie, Minnie, who is 7 months old and at this point I believe she’s out to ruin my life. Having a puppy is almost like having a child, maybe it’s even worse than that. For the past few months, I’ve been determined to help her master the skill of using the toilet outdoors.

This morning is the perfect example of why I might go insane and suffer from cardiac arrest by the age of 30. I’m sitting on my computer reading the news of the day, sipping my freshly brewed Starbucks Coffee out of my favorite pink heart mug when I see it. Minnie crouches down, and lets it loose. Tinkle.

I think to myself, WOAH…this can’t be happening!! I just let you out less than 15 minutes ago. What is wrong with this situation here?

It’s almost certain that I wont be getting my security deposit back from all the pee stains in the corner of my room by the door. The next apartment that I look for must have wood floors. That’s one the few requests that I have. I like to keep a tight ship, and clearly this furry little monster is throwing all that out the window for me. Shoot.

Potty training dogs is hard, I admit. Potty training “little dogs” is a task which is very hard to complete without pulling hair out of your head. Not only is her bladder smaller, but her attention span is close to zero. All she does is bounce around the room like she’s on crack. 24/7. It never stops.

I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself. Has she tried the puppy pads? YES. I have. She chose to use them once in awhile. When she felt like it. Yorkies are demanding and they seem to think they rule the house. Well, at least that’s what my mom tells me, (she seems to think of herself as a dog expert). She tells me, “Nicki, you must not be training that dog correctly. She’s just not learning!” Well mom, I have news for you. You should take my dog for a week and see how frustrating it is.

Do they make diapers for dogs?
