Unfortunately, the doggie door is not an option because my back door (back yard is fenced in) opens on to my deck, and Missy can't go down the 2 steps on to the grass. I do have every coat, raincoat, hooded, un-hooded -nothing does the trick. I even "created" a lawn next to my back door, using an under the bed storage box and filling it with sod from my lawn. I was quite a site the other day, kneeling with a golf umbrella over both of us, her in the box, and still, all I got was the pitiful look. I think I need to get a little tougher, and push her to stay outside until she goes. Guess I should get myself some new coats, since I'll be standing out there with her! Thanks to all of you for your feedback. It's much appreciated.
