Hello All!
We recently purchased a 12 week old beagle that we named Molly. This was a birthday gift for our son. I haven't had a puppy for quite some time and am rediscovering that they are a lot of work. I have a few problems:
1st: We have to leave her in laundry room during the day while we are at work. She has food, water, toys, bed, light and potty pads. (It's far too cold right now to stay outside) So I have a fairly large mess to clean when I get home (stomps in the poop and tracks it everywhere on the floor and walls)
2nd: I can't leave a puppy in a crate for 8 hours. That's just way too long isn't it?
3rd: How to potty train and not confuse her since we are only home evenings and weekends.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
