I am finally confident that my dog is housetrained. I wasn't sure before, because since I got her in November I've pretty much just been not giving her a chance to screw it up by taking her out really often. She's deaf and has some level of brain dysfunction so sometimes it's hard to gauge how much is actually getting through (though she learns hand signals very well!). She was just in the middle of playing with one of the cats, and all of a sudden she stopped cold and ran to me, pawed at me and ran to the door and sat down, and I opened it and she went right outside and eliminated and I am just way too excited about dog pee and poop!
