Low of -25 overnight. No school two days this week because of frigid temps. I can't imagine trying to get a dog to potty outside in this weather.
Is it just me, but it seems that people that pad train are on top of picking up poop, but outdoor trainers, not so much so? I know so many people whose backyard I can't stand to be in. People with kids & grandkids, who run and play in yards and there's poop all over. And the ones with swimming pools, and the kids are running around barefoot....ewww! A guy I used to work with that has a big dog, would tell about how many garbage bags of poop he picked up after the spring thaw. Then a few weeks later, he was talking about hoping the weather holds for his daughters birthday party because he was planning on doing a scavenger hunt in the backyard for the kids! ewww!
