SNOW conditions/outside potty or not? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We just had a bout of what Memphis calls sleet and snow and Miss Maya settled it by going on the deck as close to the door as possible.

Franklin, Maggie, and Kyrie (our Alaskan Malamute) all go outside. Maggie LOVES the snow. Franklin takes a little coaxing the first time but once he's out there he loves it too. After once or twice at the beginning of every storm, they run out, potty, and come right back in. They have learned that the faster they potty, the faster they get to come back inside.

Our little guy has no choice in the matter. Darwin likes the fluffy light snow, but he's not too much for the wet sloppy stuff. In the fall, we started off putting a jacket on Darwin but he's pretty used to the cold now. My husband calls him a gnarly dude as he keeps up in the snow with our Pyrenees mix.

Snow Ella doesn't mind b/c the snow we've been getting is very dry so it doesn't get her feet wet. We do not go out in the rain. She just uses pads on rainy days. I am more than excited for spring though.=]
