Puppies, smaller dogs and senior pooches don’t always want to go outside to use the bathroom in cold weather—but you don’t want your canine relieving itself inside on the floor or carpet!

Ring toss: Flatten an empty paper-towel roll and cut as many ¼-inch rings out of it as you can. Throw them above the cat’s head one at a time to entice your pet to leap.

I was floored when I figured up how much I could save by making this change:
