We put the litter box in the puppy area two days ago--and I found Pink girl in the box this morning!! This is the stage when the puppies start to get messy--mama dogs begin to lose interest in cleaning up after the puppies at about this time, so it falls to us to take on that chore. We leave potty in the litter box so the puppies know by smell to potty there. We change the bedding multiple times a day to keep everywhere else smelling fresh. In a week or two, the puppies will be using the litter box 80-90% of the time--it never ceases to amaze me how much this process is driven by inborn instincts. The puppies just know to keep their sleep and play area clean. I know I say it all the time, but.....amazing!
