Jim, we have to do the same for our little 9.5# Silky Terrier.
Today, she refused to go outside, even all bundled up with her snow boots on, because we are having gale force winds, snowing horizontally,
gets in her eyes and hurts. She just won't move if we pick her out and put her down outside. She shuts her eyes and starts shivering...and whining.
So we put pp pads in the garage, and she does her business there.
What a princess!
Great photo!
