So my poor little 3-year-old 14 pound Chihuahua/dachshund mix refuses to wear a sweater or coat. Like if you put it on him, he will put his tail between his legs and refuse to move. He'll just stand there until he falls over and then he'll just lay there until you take it back off.
This morning, it was -3F out. He went out the dog door and came right back in. Then he peed on the bed and pooped on the floor.
Other than putting down puppy pads, does anyone have any advice?
Here is a picture of Charlie for cuteness. He has a broken ear. My wife claims it isn't broken, he was just born that way. I say it's broken. Look at it.
Update: We got a loose shirt on him and cut off the collar and sleeves. This is how it's gone so far:
“Please take my shirt off.”
“No, it’s very cold.”
“I don’t care, I poop inside anyway. Take my shirt off.”
“No, I just told you. It’s very cold.”
“Okay, I get that. Now take my shirt off.”
“No.”
“I’ll just be pathetic and lie around and keep my tail between my legs. Take my shirt off.”
“NO!”
“I hear what you’re saying, but take my shirt off.”
“Sigh.”
Yeah, that's what we have down now. I just was hoping for a better solution, but carrying him might work. I'm going to try later this morning.
