It's just starting to get chilly here so I've been wondering what i'll do to. Most of Bella's exercise is done inside but I would love to walk her as well, so far she is to prissy to walk on pavement tho so we only walk around the yard LOL

I am in northern Minnesota. grand forks/east grand forks area.

I just feel bad when his paws are cold! We get lots of snow that gets deep, partly because when we blow snow from the driveway it obviously has to go in our yard......so I have no idea where i'm going to bring him to go potty....I always wanted to train him to go outside, but the thought of taking him out at 6:30 in the dark when it's storming out......blech.....

Plus the fact that he's going backwards in potty training is making me even more nervous. As a young pup he had a 4 panel petyard xt. Then, he earned more space, so now it's at 5 panels. His potty pad, food/water, toys, bed/blanket is in there. Well, TWO DAYS IN A ROW he has peed on his blanket that lines the bottom of his pen, NOT on his pad!!!! It's like he refuses to pee on his pad now!! He pees right NEXT to his pad. UGGGH. which makes me think I could never train him to use his potty pad for the winter. I think i'm just doomed either way

WE will shovel paths for them to go potty.I just open the door and let them out they go potty and promtly come in.I do have one who would feeze herself if let be, she does not like to come in.(she loves the snow!) Then comes in with little snow balls all over herself.
