My guys run from it like it was a thousand degrees ! I've felt of it after an hour or so, seeing if it got too hot but it didn't. They seem to just want to warm up on their own, and seem to prefer to do it individually.

Except, when their feet are damp and cold, THEN they want to be held in my lap, where the wetness can be absorbed (by ME), and of course warmth furnished. What can I say...I give in and let them every time.

I guess I could say my guys are both outside and paper trained. I have a Utility Room, with a Doggy Door. When it gets cold or rainy, I lay paper down in front of the DDoor, where they must make it at least to the paper, THEN the option to go on outside is still there. Unless it's pretty bad, My Adults opt to go on outside to potty. Ichabod is still "iffey" about it.

My Male Sneakers is the most reliable about going out. I've seen him (while it's raining) go out onto the Breezeway which is covered, walk to the edge of the concrete, lift his leg and pee out onto the grass.
