How do you do it?? I'd LOVE to have a dog. I live in the city -NYC. But
can't see walking four times per day out in the !**@! snow to give him
bathroom breaks. :-(

All I can say is you get used to it. Although I do have a concrete patch
out back where Orson will pee, we do have to walk him 2 or 3 times a day,
one of which includes a 30-60 minute session of running, swimming, or
fetching every day. Frankly, it's not enough. When we lived closer to
places to exercise him, he got 1-2 hours offleash every day.

The sometimes PITA of walking a dog in the city is a small nuisance when
compared with figuring out how to give the dog the exercise it needs to
stay physically and mentally healthy. That's a much bigger challenge to
meet than is getting used to walking in the cold and rain.

Considering that there appear to be a gazillion dogs in Manhattan alone,
I'd say that it isn't all that difficult to do. Lots of things you can
do - get a breed of dog that is more into snoozing on the couch than
going for long walks, decide that exercise is good for your soul and do
what it takes to keep your dog entertained, hire a dog walker so you
don't have to do the walking quite so frequently, take the dog to one of
the off-leash dog parks in the area, etc.
