Ooooh yaaaaay, now my question is...the dogs? It's too bad, Sophie used to use the litter box when we first got her. This area has more apartments than houses so maybe somebody got her to use a box over walking her who knows. Plus at her size now it wouldn't work.
Even piddle pads if we could get them would have to be the size of a wading pool. My son is trying to clear just enough for them to relieve themselves...but it's supposed to continue until the wee hours...pun intended...suggestions???

My two dogs don't like going out to pee in the kennel when it's raining or snowing, sooo they piddle on the storeroom floor. Concrete is not bad to clean, our whole indoors is smooth surfaces- porcelain tile or concrete(garage and storeroom).

Well my son managed to clear stairs and a small square of yard. Callie went out and must of stood there ten minutes. Sophie just danced around refusing to go. He is such a good guy. Hopefully she'll go in the basement. Like you say tile and concrete is easier to clean.

During big snowstorms here, we always had to clear a path in the backyard to the accepted potty areas for our furkids. I guess if they had to stay indoors for some reason, newspapers on the floor, belly bands or doggie diapers would be needed. I'd just get the shovel and pray for sun to melt the stuff.

I know it might sound funny, but small Depends work. I have an old 15 y/o golden retriever that has bad arthritis, and in the middle of the night she has started to have trouble controlling her body functions. She is still a happy and loving furkid, so to me the depend are the best opinion/. They are also cheaper than dog diapers, you just have to cut a hole for the tail. :wave:

I never thought of Depends. This probably isn't the only storm this winter. I'm going to get a small supply for just in case.

When we lived in the North, we used to judge the temperature on how many steps down our dog would go down to the yard without having to be booted off. Under 32 degrees, she'd just turn around at the door and say "I'll hold it....no problem..."
