An Icy Delimma

Winston anxiously looking back at front door.

Maybe it's his age...but Winston didn't pee until after two pm today...and that was when I drug him around the ground, slipping and slipping...he just couldn't manage to keep his legs steady. What do I do with a ten gallon dog who refuses to pee...follow him around in the house...cause it's gotta come out somewhere. We have taken a shovel out into the yard and broken the ice to provide areas of sure footing, still he has fallen several times. He manages to walk alot steadier if I lead him saying, "Steady, Winston. Slow down. Easy now."
Are your young pups taking potty breaks despite the ice?

Yea, Scout is doing fine. She is a bit confused, but definitely peeing unhindered!

Bless his heart. That is very sad. It's tough for an old man to have to go ice skating in order to pee. Wish I had some sage advice but icy ground is not something I see much of. Maybe buy a couple bags of sand and make a sandy area where he can walk in the yard?? I think the sand will offset the slippy ice.
