[QUOTE=mstplumeria;1831813]OMG

We have a blizzard warning.... 10" of snow by morning and another 5" tomorrow..... and 40 mph winds.....

How in the heck am I going to let Tucker and Sophie outside to potty in this? They have been doing so well going outside, I don't want to use the potty pads again....

I plan on shoveling a path from the back door, down the deck and a small area in the yard, but with the winds, I am afraid the snow will blow over on them...

Any advice? Suggestions? Safety precautions?[/QU

It was 70 here yesterday and now it is raw outside. I am gong to a dog show tomorrow and the forecast s for 5 inches of snow. I have boots with rubber bottoms for my dogs and wool coats. The shoes can be pricey at pet shops but they are very inexpensive atwww.Petedge.com and I have also found them at Target. Since you are almost out of time you can improvise. Make your dogs tube socks out of an old t-shirt or, if you have them, baby socks work well. Put the socks on the dog and then wrap a baggy around the dogs feet and secure with duct tape. That will keep their feet warm and dry. Put their coat on and send them out to do their business. When they come back in, cut the tape and baggie.
