Question
I have a one year old morkie and when I walk her at night she usually pees but doesn't poop.  She usually wakes at 5am.  Should I expect her to poop at night.  I usually walk her at 10pm.  She pooped in her crate once this week and had never done this before.  It happened on the night that it was raining and lightning.  She was afraid and only peed outside and was frantic to get back in.  I have had her for 3 weeks and she has come along way.

Answer
crate and pooping:
Hi Anna,  I think you figured it right!  Yes- the storm and she was a bit frantic.

Make sure that you don't feed her past 7 pm.
Just offer water after 7 and she won't have any more poop accidents.
I bet she is very cute!
BEST wishes ...
