In this weather, Huey usually potties in the garage, but he still wants to run out on the deck once or twice a day to do his "3 point neighborhood survey" (we call it that because he stands at each of the 3 sides of the deck in turn, hangs over the rail & looks up and down the street just as far as he can). Yesterday, he ran out, looked out one side of the deck, peed without any further ado & ran back in! It usually takes a good 5 minutes of sniffing around, 2 or 3 false starts with multiple changes in locale before he pees. He was like "heck no. I'm done with this!"

Great reminder!

It is -10 here with a wind chill of -30. We had 18 inches of snow the other night. Needless to say, Gunner does not go out in this! Even to tinkle I'm making him use the papers inside. He would probably go outside to potty, but if I can't go out with him it is too cold!

I put down a potty pad. The temp dropped so dramatically

My boys love it! But they get 5 mins, thats it. They run out there, bark like little mad men, do their business, sniff around, get faces full of snow, then come back in. That is with a lot of prodding on my end though! They are not allowed out alone, so I stand out there with them, after my 5 mins my fingers are numb... so we all have to come back in.

This morning the trees were cracking from being frozen and the wind blowing hard, they were barking like crazy at every crack and just when they would turn around to run in, another crack, another barking frenzy! LOL

Last night was our coldest night and one of the county's around me opened there animal shelter to any animals that could not be taken inside which I thought was great.
