What can I do about my dog? Snow...?

It's snowing a lot where we live (there's nearly 2 feet of snow). We are in a declared state of emergency. So I can't take my 7 month old Pomeranian out to pee and poo. I obviously don't want him to go in the house, and it's very hard to clean up his feces from cement in the garage. He wasn't trained to go on puppy pads, just the outdoors (which are blanketed in snow that could easily bury him alive). What can I do?

1. try to not give him to much food and water you can try putting him in a box in the garage... or put him in the laundry with news paper on the floor ... best of luck take care because his only a little puppy and the cold can led to health problems
2. Maybe you could clear off a small section of grass near the door so that he could go.
3. Attack an area close to the door with a shovel. Letting a dog go indoors messes with what housetraining they have, so just digging out a place is easiest on both you and your dog.
4. You have to clear out a path for him in the snow and then an area that he can wander and find a place to toilet.
5. he will be fine outside for a few minutes, if he is still tiny then he doesn't need that much room to do his buisness, shovel out a little section right ot from the door if your that worried put a leash on him so that he/she can't wander if you have a jacket then put that on to keep him warm watch him, when he goes out, if its that cold, dogs are pretty smart to do their buisness and come back in
6. First off - you can keep all that snow, ok? Do not send it to Wisconsin. Thanks. Second off - just clear a spot for your dog to go. I have a small dog, and I just stomp out a big circle in the snow so she can go to the bathroom without getting lost in a snow pile.
7. We rarely see that much snow, but if you have a deck or patio, you may be able to clear an area for a make-shift potty area. I was forced to do this one time and left a layer of snow under the dog's feet so I could "dispose" of the mess easily and quickly. You can also just shovel a small area for him to go near the door. Since he is a hairy dog, make sure you check his feet for snow balls when he comes back in. I found the snow would clump on my dogs' feet and furnishings making them uncomfortable when they came back inside. Good luck. Hope it stops soon. Looks like a White Christmas for you.
