Blizzard Warning OMG :eek: We have a blizzard warning.... 10" of snow by morning and another 5" tomorrow..... and 40 mph winds..... How in the heck am I going to let Tucker and Sophie outside to potty in this? They have been doing so well going outside, I don't want to use the potty pads again.... I plan on shoveling a path from the back door, down the deck and a small area in the yard, but with the winds, I am afraid the snow will blow over on them... Any advice? Suggestions? Safety precautions? |
I don't have any suggestions, but I feel for you. We're in Indiana too and getting one heck of a beating with this wind. My baby is still at the breeders, so I don't have to worry about her right now. Our big Golden loves the snow! As a matter of fact, she'd rather be out than in. Do you keep them on a harness when you take them out? I think as long as you have an area shoveled for them, they'll be fine :) Good Luck and stay warm! BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! |
When it is too cold outside..... how about an x-pen in the garage with pad?? It would still be "going out" which may help eliminate any confusion. |
Here in New York we have not had as much snow at all this winter. We have had the howling winds and lots of rain, some mixed with snow. Remi and I go out in all types of weather, however. I have my storm coat and so does Remi. In fact he wears that with a raincoat over it and he stays fairly dry. The hood helps keep his head and ears dry too. When it is windy, which we expect this evening, along with heavy rain into tomorrow, we will go out in an area closest to the house that is opposite the wind. It has worked and we will keep on doing it. Where is Spring? Can't wait for the warm sunshine! Good luck to you. Hope the snow storm is not as bad as predicted! |

We've had so much snow this winter and the wind to go with it. I just broom snow away in a small area, bundle the furbabies up with thick sweaters, and out we go for a very short time.:D They know they have to move it or freeze.:D |
I had to make sure to make a little path and clear the area that she loved to use.... |

I have boots with rubber bottoms for my dogs and wool coats. The shoes can be pricey at pet shops but they are very inexpensive atwww.Petedge.com and I have also found them at Target. Since you are almost out of time you can improvise. Make your dogs tube socks out of an old t-shirt or, if you have them, baby socks work well. Put the socks on the dog and then wrap a baggy around the dogs feet and secure with duct tape. That will keep their feet warm and dry. Put their coat on and send them out to do their business. When they come back in, cut the tape and baggie. |

Hey Missy! Hope you got your bread and milk!! I don't think we're gonna get as much as you here, we're right on the line between a lot and a little bit of snow. I always shovel a path or go out and stomp a trail around the yard. Sometimes the snow has been so deep on the sides of the trails that they jump up like bunnies to see where they are going!! |
We are in Ohio and have the blizzard warnings here too! Our little one goes in a litter box, but it's going to be rough on our larger one, Crosley. If the winds become as strong as they are predicting, we will have to take her out in our fenced in yard with a leash. She's 15lbs, but they are saying really strong winds and 9-13in of snow!!! I would really suggest keeping them on a leash in these kind of conditions! |
I have a friend in Ashville, NY. and they are braceing for 12 to 14 inches of snow and supposed to be the worst of the season. Lets hope everyone is ok in all the snow states and no one gets hurt. |
Oh my gosh. Y'all have really had it bad this winter. I don't know what Murfee would do 'cause he wouldn't touch the snow we had yesterday. |
Yep..... we are in that "Blizzard" area, too! I am suppose to work tomorrow and so I thought I would go and get some gas in the BIG 4x4 truck in case I needed it....... ANYWAY, drove out the driveway and started out the subdivision.... about 15 mph.... and Wooooooooooooooooooo I couldn't stop to make the corner..ICE....:eek: :eek: thank goodness that I was able to "coast" to the curb. I backed in to the neighbors drive and turned around........... so much for getting a full tank before tomorrow! :( I don\'t think that it looks good for driving in the morning. |
