She'll be our sixth dog in 31 years (third puppy) and we've trained all of them, but I was hoping to be able to have a dual system, for lack of a better term, for severe weather.

For instance, we had that terrible snow and ice storm here in Virginia that ended up developing "snowcrete" and had we had a dog, it would have been hell to try to get out and potty. We just lost our wonderful Blake a month ago on January 16th, before the storm.

I appreciate your response!
