Do you take your dog out walking in severely snowy/stormy weather? What's the alternative?

Asked by drdoombot (8145points) December 19th, 2009

Having only had my dog for a few weeks now, I haven’t run into this problem yet. I’m guessing there’s around 4–6 inches of snow by me already and still going up. She had her last walk around 1pm today.

She came to us fully house-trained and has not had a single accident. She loves her walks and is quite meticulous about spraying her urine conservatively so she can spray as many places as possible.

She has never used a wee-pad or anything like that, so I’m guessing that getting her to do her business inside the house right now isn’t feasible. Heck, I haven’t been able to get her to go in my little backyard.

So, are there any alternatives? What do other Jellies do in really bad weather? I’m going to take her out tonight, but I’m wondering what I can do to prep her for next time.
