Deep snow vs. Sheep Dog butt

Over the weekend, we got a considerable amount of snow which is quite funny to watch Keegan play in given it's about his chest...he loves it. However, what I discovered this morning was that he doesn't exactly know how to poop in it. Long and short, we have a skidder problem when he comes back inside. I love him to death, but wiping a poop filled butt in my suit before work, not so fun.

Any advice???

When the snow gets that high here we just shovel a short run for the dogs to do their business in. Not that they always use it for that. With Sassy getting old it really helps her mobility by not having to plow through the drifts.
We do that, too. They don't always use it but for the dogs that are particular about not having snow touch them while they poop, they seem to appreciate it.
We aslo shovel a path but they both seem to love to sek out the highest drifts and jump in :roll: :roll: We also shave the hair a bit to give a cleaner "poop shoot"... Don't despair. We all are butt cleaners with our dogs! I usually get OUT of my work clothes first though :wink:
