I am also in Michigan and Max and Sasha hate the snow. We have pads in the house for when we are not home and pads in the attached garage for when we are home. When we are home Sasha will scratch at the door to garage to let us know she wants to go. When we take them outside in the winter they will not go on the snow. They will stay on the shoveled driveway or sidewalk for a minute and then turn around and go back to the door waiting for us to let them in. I have a couple of wimpy dogs!
