I've been watching a Dachsund this week and we got hit here in PA with 16" of snow with ice on top of that. Usually he goes out, does his business, and gets back in. But the snow is exciting to him so he wants to sniff around, etc.. Trouble is, after about 2 min. he starts lifting his legs up b/c he can't stand any longer and I end up running over, picking him up and getting him inside. Now, he doesn't get a chance to go to the bathroom. And this is repeated over and over. He keeps doing the same thing. I tried boots his parents left. He won't leave them on. I have a sweater and coat on him so he's not cold, just his feet. And now he's messing in my house. Any ideas?
