My poor Violet (1.5 years) has gone through a lot of changes in the last few weeks. My daughter and I left for a 10 day vacation when Violet stayed with my parents. Violet had always been pad trained, but outside of her home, she will not use a pad. I figured by default at my parents house she would use the pad... but did not, so they started taking her outside to potty throughout the day.
In the meantime when we were on vacation, we also moved (moved into a new house the day we got back from vacation). So Violet now has a new home, where (of course) she will not use the pad. SO, I'm taking her outside to potty.
My question is.... what do I do when it gets super cold? Can she tolerate those cold temps? We live in Cleveland Ohio where we get FEET AND FEET of snow! Can I still take her outside in the snow like that? Do I need to dress her or is she ok?
I apologize for the novice status of this question. I just know you guys are so knowledgeable here and I am hoping someone can give me advice.
Thanks so much in advance,

When we got General Lee last year it was just as the snow hit in Illinois. We had days of 11 inches of snow and some pretty cold days and nights. He will pee on a pad in the house, however, he has to walk away from the sight of the town house to poop. He refuses to wear anything on him. The vet told me when General Lee was a pup that he will tell me if it is to cold. So far we have walked a mile or so in the snow. He won't go in the rain, but loves the snow. This year will be interesting as he is now 13 months old.
