One of the reasons there is The Brat after Max's name, the chi-rat terrier and Jack Russell mess, is for almost five years he has refused to use potty pads in the house at night. He will stand on the pad and poop on the floor. I've no idea why, other than watch my b/p rise rapidly.

You get a cottontail that is potty trained, and I get this pint-sized cute little dog that absolutely refuses to even accidentally get poop on a puppy pad.

Our cotton tail self-potty trained himself. That's a MAJOR accomplishment!!! HopeHoops Aug 2012 #8

I don't think they are. She must be a good mother. I think I know which one she is. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #9

Good for your soul to care about little critters. Makes you one with your environment. applegrove Aug 2012 #4

How can you not? We don't own the earth, we're the caretakers. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #10

Exactly. I miss having a garden to share with critters. applegrove Aug 2012 #11

I've given up on growing peas or beans. They all get gnawed off. They still need to learn. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #12

We'd love to see pictures of the kits if you can. applegrove Aug 2012 #13

I have to figure out which camera was used and upload them from the card. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #14
