I thought of another thing I've used a pee pad for -- when I'm cutting up a juicy melon. The pee pad soaks up all the juice, so no mess on the kitchen counter.

My dogs love pee pads. They love to shred them into 1000s of tiny bits so I won't get bored.

That is exactly what I do, I have a pen on my decking in the garden and no pee pads in the house, Molly has already started scratching at the back door when she needs to go... :)

Ah pee pads ain't just for pee anymore! Thanks for all the great ideas Pawz4me!!

Love Em! Pawz said everything I would say...so ....Ditto

I love, love, LOVE pee pads. And if you'd ask me that before Yogi came along I would have said absolutely no way, never would I ever have a dog who used pee pads. But they are so awesomely convenient. If we need to be away from home for eight, ten, twelve hours . . . no worries at all about him having to hold it. They especially come in handy when we're traveling in the RV, because there's not always a convenient, safe place to stop when he needs to go. Put down a pad and he's good. Plus we've found that pee pads are very convenient for many other uses. Painting? We use a p

Haha, Pam I hope they shred them before they pee on them and not after! Vicki, I never thought of putting a pee pad on the deck. There's still snow there, but maybe that will at least get her used to peeing outside if I clear off a spot and put a pad there. Since there's plastic on the bottom of the pad maybe I can even sit one on the grass after clearing off some snow. Why oh why didn't I wait until the spring to get a pup like I originally planned? Oh well, I love her so I can't imagine her not being her now, just like how I thought I was crazy when I first got Mr. T and was going th

I have a love/hate relationship with pee pads right now. I've been brining Rebel out a few times a day, but there's snow on the ground and it's very cold out, so she still hasn't peed outside. She's had some accidents in the house but she's been really good about going to the pads to go pee, so in that respect they are coming in really handy. However, she misses the pad about 25% of the time so I'm still cleaning pee off the floor which is aggravating. Even if I put two pads side by side, she will still sometimes have 3/4 of her body on the pad but her back end hanging off!

I love the pee pad. She knows to go on there and she rarely miss, so I can't complain. It's been a god saved when she was sick and she would go on the pad. She loves to go outside, but winter as made her a bit confused, so I least I don't have to worry about that. THe only time she shred her paper is if she pooped and I picked it up, she seems to be looking for it. Or when she wants her attention. We just had a winter storm, follow by freezing rain. So the whole place was frozen and it seem like she couldn't find a spot to pee. She was looking for snow, but the only snow was to high for he

Another great example of the Wealth of Knowledge PAWZ!!! Great ideas! My guys will shred the pads in my house, but don't when away from home! They do come in handy and I just love all the new ideas for their uses! Vicki

Pam, I'm hoping that once the snow melts (we had a huge snowfall today but it's supposed to warm up a bit tomorrow) I can just bring her out with Mr. T every time and put her right near where he just peed and maybe she'll pick up on what she's supposed to do. Mr. T doesn't care about the cold as he has a warm furry layer and he is so well trained to pee outside that he can just run out quickly, do his business, and run back in if he wants to, but Rebel just stands there and shivers whenever I put her down outside right now. Earlier today, before the big snowfall, I did put her on a grassy sp

I know my paws don't use them for toileting. But when they were sick after taking the Drontal tablet , I did use them all over the kitchen floor to catch the sick, so yes they came in very handy Thanks Pawz for all the other super uses for pee pads, because I bought in bulk, I've got loads left over and I've been wondering what I can use them for

My gang won't pee on them at ALL - they just look at them as toys to be shredded, lol. I think an important component of house-training is an exercise pen. If you don't have a run, you need an ex-pen. In winter, you can put it on your deck or lawn and put pads down inside it (for some reason, they don't shred them if they are outside). I am not sure why, but that containment teaches puppies fairly quickly that that's "the spot" and before long they will eliminate the second you put them in the pen. Just my experience!

Oh I know that one soooo well, Missy has a pee pad on the deck, since she won't go out in bad weather, and sometimes she'll go all the way to the end and pee either on the holder or the deck!

Hi there, I'm just relaxing in the lounge flicking through the tv channels and have come across the Food Network Channel with "Barefoot Contessa" on - Ina makes a traditional American meal with a modern twist. Roast turkey, smashed sweet potatoes, spinach gratin and a croissant bread pudding. Plus, everything can be done before the guests arrive. It looks good and I've just googled up the recipe for the smashed sweet potato and wondered if anyone's tried/made this before? I'm new to sweet potato and normally only cook them as wedges and have with my dinner, but the idea of mash soun

Thanks for the link Alex I got pretty excited as we love sweet potatoes! Looks like the ole sweet potato casserole but without the marshmallows! I always found that too sweet for me but if you like real sweet you'll love it! But I love to make baked sweet potatoes, in the microwave, we fix them like a regular baked potato for us and I just scoop out the innards and mash them with a fork for Missy.
