I sent you a brief PM a while back saying he should be fine outside for pee breaks before I realized how young he is. I would definitely read up on pad training first, especially considering how cold it's been. At that age, I'd make sure he's comfortable outside -- a coat, either the booties I told you about or something dry to walk on.

As for shivering in the playpen, my suspicion is fear but make sure there are some warm blankies or a bed. Also, try to make the pen experience fun with toys, maybe even feed there. Play with him in there and let him know the pen is fun.

I invited you to our FB meetup group, but wait on that till he's had all his shots.

Yeah, im gonna wait for that. And about his potty training, he hasnt even "went" in his crate once, hes been holding it until I take him. So instead of taking him outside, i take him in the garage to the back door and he goes on a paper inside but at the door, so that way hes still learning not to go in the house. And he loves the kids lol this mornings I told them if they want to see him they have to sit and cross there legs, and he went all over them and had fun, and now he's sleeping.
