*~* They are 10 months old now...and their bladders are better controlled...
but, I still take them OUTSIDE when I have them INSIDE the house for more than 3 hours. Neither Midnight nor Sunshine bark or make any audio attempt to, "tell me" that they need to, "go potty". I just make sure that I take them outside...JUST IN CASE...if they need "relief"...so to speak !
** I remove any access to WATER around 7PM. They usually pass out around 9 or 10PM...and I want to make sure that they do not have a full bladder.
There have been NO accidents for about 4 months now. After they BOTH were spayed...there were some accidents ! But, just like spillled milk...accidents happen ! IF...I freak out

everytime there are few & far between "accidents"...then, WHAT will I be teaching my Canine Daughters ? I will TEACH THEM that I freak out

everytime there are few & far between "accidents" !!
~~~Shame on ME...not on them !!~~~ IMO (in my opinion...)
** I DO NOT "freak out" much **
