Hmm. . . . I've been closing off the door inbetween the kitchen and the living room to save our heat. Then I open the door from the kitchen onto the porch for her.
Dusty is eating inside now! I'm very proud! The first couple of times were tough, but when I see her, I open the door and she comes right inside to eat! She doesn't spend a lot of time inside. After a meal she'll snoop around for a bit and get skittery after five minutes and run outside again. She's not afraid to come back in when she's hungry, though. Eventually she'll understand that it's warmer and comfier inside and maybe she'll stay the night. This is great because Boston is only going to get colder until April or so. I bribe her with treats and pettings to let her know how happy I am.
