bridey has recently started wearing diapers because she can’t really control her pees and her poops anymore. sometimes she’ll use the bathroom outside when we take her out, but most of the time she just goes as she’s laying down inside. so, the diapers really help!

our homemade diapers are really easy to put together, actually!

we’ve purchased pee pads from costco, which we were using for bolt’s puppy days, but for bridey i cut a hole in the center, top portion of the pee pad and put her tail through it. once the long side of the pad is tucked under her crotch and stomach i tie one back and one front corner together across her back and safety pin the other two corner together across her back. whenever she’s gone to the bathroom in her diaper i just slide it off of her and get her to step out of it. then i wipe her down with some baby wipes and slap another diaper on her once we get back inside.

so far, this system works really well. the pee pads we have are really absorbent and it is rare that there is a leak!
