Shew - I know what you mean! I was excited today because the temp got up to the 50's here! I was actually able to get them to go outside on their own four legs. In the cold rains or teen temps, I had to literally pick them up and carry them out, and then we all stand there freezing and waiting....and waiting...and waiting. So today was a great reprieve! Hurry spring!

She'll stand there and shiver until I take her in. She'll usually pee once and then beg to go back inside. Then, that leads to pooping accidents in the house.
My question is, do you think she is too old to try the bell? Do you think the cold weather outside will put a damper on any progress?
