Yay Pebbles! so cute!! :) I only had 2 boy beagles so far, but i know that all dogs need some excercise. u are lucky that Pebbles is small, so she gets some exercise just moving around the house, but would also want daily walks.. even a short walk around the block.. on the leash.. it teaches them discipline as well as physical exercise.. it's also a mental exercise and bonding for her and u.

we had Dobby (our last beagle) while we were living in a condo in quezon city. so he grew to be pretty too big for that condo, but anyway, we had those square pee pads (the disposable one u buy at pet store or we got em at S&R). it didn't stop him 100% from peeing all over, but he would always poop there since it's the most grass-like thing he sees or perhaps he knows he should?, unless he was mad at u and then he purposely would go somewhere he know he shouldn't). so, 90% effective. then we would use toilet tissue to pick up his poop and flush it down the toilet, although i don't think this is good or proper for the septic system. oops. this cuts down on always buying new pads, but once they get soaked or dirty, just throw away.
