Counting Off The Poodle Potty Stops

Every three hours it is up and to the yard to go to the potty. Why? Because at eight weeks of age that is just about the maximum time the little baby can go without going to the bathroom.
So, it's up every three (sometimes four) hours throughout the night and then again first thing I the morning definitely before coffee, then again after breakfast, and then every three hours throughout the day.
If he takes a nap during the day (which of course he does a lot because puppies are growing so much they need a ton of rest) we go right out upon waking up. After dinner it's potty time again and then one last time just before we go to bed.
I can't believe how many trips I make taking that little rascal outside every day and night. What is it? About 10? It's fine for now, but as the days get shorter and the air gets colder, I'm going to start liking it less and less.
