So, we got over a foot of snow in two days. If that wasn't bad enough, it was also bitterly cold and windy. Snow drifts up past my knees covered our backyard. We had started taking Rory out into the back to give her more exercise in a safe place where there had been no dogs, since she's not completely vaccinated yet. There had been snow on the ground, which she was happy to frolick in, but this mess was too much for her. I would set her down and she would cower between my feet, even though we had shoveled a little area for her to go.
So, what's a puppy parent to do with a puppy who isn't housebroken but it's too cold for her to go out? Go shopping, of course! We went to that As Seen on TV store, and bought her the Potty Patch, you know, it looks and feels like grass? She took to it on the first try. We've had a couple of oopsies where her aim was off - too much to the side - but otherwise, it's been great.
Hopefully, the snow will melt sooner rather than later so our little Rory can go run around like crazy outside once again. Why did we want to get a puppy in the middle of winter?
