So busy on here, miss a few days and I have spent ages trying to catch up!!!
Welcome to both Kathy and Gerty and Frenzy. Gerty looks so at home and I especially love the expression on her face in the pic where she is lying in her bed. All of the babies are simply stunning!! Those still waiting to pick theirs up must be itching for the day to come! It sounds like most have been good both with toilets, sleeping and travelling!! All WOnderful pictures and I cannnot wait to see more.
Tessa, I must say breaking the habit is good advice. Ceilidh had started needing out in the middle of the night during her first season but continued this after it aswell and Ali suggested ignoring her when she wanted out in the night and telling her to settle down. Worked really well. Since moving back to my parents where there is a massive garden, she had a couple of accidents because she did not toilet when out before bed, she was going out and sniffing and playing but not doing the toilet. So now, just as I am going to bed I put her on an extendible lead and take her out, that way I know she has done and don't need to worry. Maybe try this and also get up once in the night and try to gradually get her out of the habit. Also try to use a command for the toilet, I use "puddle" and at night it is "puddles then bed" which even from the deepest sleeps she flies to the door straight out and back in to her bed. I am absolutely no expert but I hope this helps. Good luck.
