A Weather god miracle required or failing that HELP

[ThisMorningWentBadly]

Our new puppy is asleep on my feet. (Her fav think to do). It is raining outside, she doesn’t really like the dark I can’t imagine rain will float her boat. How the heck am I going to get her outside to “empty” before I put her to bed. We only got her a couple of days ago and so she hasn’t wholy got the hang of toileting outside.

Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Thankfully there is a weather god. Hoo rah!

Head torch and large umbrella are your friends when toilet training in the winter

the list of things I need to keep by the back door for immediate access is getting larger and larger.

Also stick a coat on the dog , my dog doesn’t like garden visits in rain , although he’s more than happy to go for a walk , and I just put him a fleece on and he’s much more amenable to going out for a quick wee .

By the back door I have: umbrella, coat, crocks, treats, head torch, poo bags.

All very useful for the 50067 trips outside I have to take the puppy on. If it is too yucky and wet I just pick him up and carry him to his preferred big spot!
