This is the only bad thing about dogs. Even if it's the storm of the century, you still gotta take 'em out.

Daschunds/smol dogs can use a turf pad or disposable pads. Do not offer a kitty litter alternative, unless you like it everywhere.

I read about putting a plastic wading pool filled with dirt or turf in the attached garage and letting the dog go there. I should have done that.

Good idea! Then just shovel it out occasionally.
