Wow...and I always think of Michigan as being cold...

Right now, I have one pup that goes outside and goes potty and one that mostly does his business inside...but will occasionally ask to go outside. He is little(4lbs) and he's got really thin hair...and it doesn't matter how much I bundle him up, he is cold outside if it's under 60...Heck, he is cold inside as well. He constantly has pj's on and he wears a sweater over his pj's during the day...and my house is set at 72.

If I had my choice, i'd rather use pee pads. They are easy to pick up and throw away and I don't have to freeze my butt off taking the boys outside. I pick up his poos with a piece of toilet paper and flush them down the toilet and I throw away the pads when they are piddled o

Holy cannoli that is ridiculous . . we are sitting at 24 right now. My babies don't spend more than 3-5 min out in this kind of weather.

It's not snowing here, but temps going down to 35 - 40's. I just put a sweater on him and i think it keeps him warm enough for potty breaks.

-48C with the wind chill in glorious Medicine Hat Alberta Canada!
Enzo does his business outside - FAST! I carry him to his spot, give him the command & scoop his little butt back into the house! 30 seconds flat!!
We both HATE it!

No accidents to report, lots of swearing tho!
