Housebreaking puppy please help?

My 9 wk. old Scottish Terrier puppy refuses to go to the bathroom outside. I have him on a strict feeding schedule per vets advice. About 20 minutes after eating he starts sniffing & circling the floor but when I take him out he wont go. I bring him back in wait until he shows signs again then take him back out, still refuses to go outside. I have cleaned the "accident areas" in the house with Natures Miracle so there is no scent to draw him. When he's outside all he wants to do is chew on everything in site instead of do his business. I have tried using a squirt bottle & pennies in a can to deter this behavior to no avail. Also, even though I get up at least 2-3 times during the night to take him out he will pee in his cage. His cage is dry when I take him out, he refuses to go, I take him back in wait 15-30 minutes and he has peed in his cage. I thought dogs didn't like to go in their "den". I have a divider in the cage to make it as small an area as possible so he wont soil his sleeping area. Any adice? I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am at my wits end. Never had these problems with other puppies in the past.

Should we lease a convenience store?

My husband wants to lease a convenience store. He is almost 65 and plans on retiring in about 1 1/2 yrs from his current job. He wants to go ahead and lease this store to have extra income from it when he retires. I would have to run the store by myself until then. We would also have to borrow about 1/2 of the money to stock the store with and would have to use our rental home for collateral. Then we would have the lease paymnent on the store and a bank payment on the loan. The store has been closed for about 3 months. The people who own the store ran it from 1979 until 1997 and then thier daughter had it until 2009 and then it has been leased to somene else until it closed 3 months ago. The couple that own it made a good living from it but the economy was better when they had it. The store has a deli in it, the mainstay of the store was cigarettes sells and they have gas pumps. I am afraid I would not be able financially to hire someone to work some and i would have to run it 7 days a wk, 12 hrs a day plus another hour to clean and cash out at night. It is the only store from from one town to the next which is about 15 miles. The last people who had it gave it a bad reputation so i don't know how long it would take to build it back up. I am also 53 yrs old and have just closed a variety shop that i had due to not enough business. It was a jewelry and handbag shop and i sold floral home decor also. I would like for him to have his dream of having this store but don't want to lose everythng we have in the process. He supported me in my business venture but i did not invest this kind of money nor did i borrow any.Can someone please give me some goodadvice?

A Girl at my College that I Like?

Call her if you have her phone number. Be talkative, fun and brief. If she is also being talkative and you are feeling the good vibes, ask her out to a "neutral" place like Starbucks or something. Don't invite her to an elegant dinner. Once at the coffee shop, try to remain cool and collected. So don't let your feelings for her be all over the place while you're with her. If you don't have her phone number, send her a facebook message. In it, you would write: "Hey, girl's name, I saw you on TV! Did you film the commercial during the summer break?" It doesn't really matter what you say, but be enthusiastic and try to challenge her so she feels the need to reply. Once she does, send her a teasing and playful message and ask her for her phone number. In your FB profile, make sure you have photos of you having fun with other girls. Also, don't be judgemental, be modest and always be positive!
