Or alot of people will use a garage or a porch in really bad weather conditions. We had unusual snow this winter here with some areas over 5 feet because of snow drifts so it was literally impossible even though he loved it. So I let him go on our screened in porch which had almost a foot of snow itself. |
Thank you for your response. There was a lot of snow year before last and the wind made it really really cold out.
She still went out. Sometimes not for long but she went. It was cold though. I went down early in the morning and borrowed a shovel (I live in an apartment) and shoveled an area for the small dogs in the bldg to use.
Later I just shoved snow aside with my boot so she had a clear area to do her thing as the shoveled area got rather busy after a day and didn't want her there after that.
We work it out. It is just that sometimes I think that she needs to go number two and well, if it is miserable out, she will quickly fo tinkle but then run for the door, meanwhile..
It's like, hey Roxy .. Are you sure?
Thanks again!
