Yeah, that snow and cold sure puts a damper on things. I take my 8 month old pups out, but my 6 month old never goes out in the cold because he is just too small. Sometimes I have to bring them back in and take them out a very short time later because I know it is time for them to go but don't want them catching a chill. Mavrick is so funny because he'll look up at me like "Hey Mom, if you don't hurry and get me back in the house I am actually going to have to POOP out HERE!" He much prefers the white carpet in the warm house for this duty!
