Pam, that sounds rough...how are you handling your dog not being able to go "out"?

So sorry for you and everyone going through hardships right now. We were out of power for three days in both Hurricane Fran and in a freak ice storm a few years after that, but in both cases we could at least get our dogs outside. And in Fran we did have water, and it was warm. In the ice storm we were on a well so couldn't use water b/c of the well pump, but we were able to melt ice/snow from outside by our woodstove to occasionally flush the toilet.
