[Roxiesmama]

We got a few inches of snow (on top of the feet of snow already out there) and now we have ice on top of it. School is closed again. This is snow day #8 for us, and I am tired of being indoors.

This morning Roxie scratched to go out, so I suited up in my coat and boots and took her out. As soon as she felt the ice and snow under her feet she stopped and peed right on the front walkway, and then turned and ran back to the house. She usually poos at this time too, so I was surprised she wanted to go back in. Well, sure enough, 3 minutes after we came in and I had taken off my coat and boots, she started scratching at the door. I guess she remembered that she had to poo. So, I suited up again and took her out a second time. She quickly did her business at the end of the driveway and then ran back to the house again. Silly dog.

She doesn't use pads, so we get the joys of taking her out in all kinds of weather - cold, ice, snow, rain, wind...
