hey, flick! :--)

i have always set the alarm for 3-AM to wake + take pup out, if U wait till the puppy cries U may not have time to get up, get a coat on, slip shoes on, grab leash + Pup, + get out the door before the deed is done, LOL.

until the pup is 15 to 16-WO, i just go out once each night. so far it has worked fine for me, and for my puppy-clients, too.
congratulations on the pup - U must be excited! ;--) i;d be thrilled...
