Which is better pee pad or litter box?

First off , no I am not training my dog to use the pee pad or the litter box. My dog is trained to ring a bell if he has to go potty outside.

I was just wondering if you moved in a apartment in Chicago on a high floor, which would be better to train your dog to use. The pee pad or litterbox.
DO you think that anybody does this: if their dog wont use the pee pad or litter box and they have a balcony do you think that they would make some kind of box with grass in it for their dog to use. Or would that be really gross.

Now I will say again that I dont live in any kind of apartment or condo or will I ever have my dog use a litter box or pee pad . He is trained to ring a bell and go OUTSIDE.

Flying with dog?

How traumatic would it be for my dog to fly from Chicago to Detroit (1hour 15 minutes flight) this friday? It would be at 9:50 at night so not over 85 degrees. The only airline offering a late enough flight is American (though I hear Continental is great with dogs). Will it be worse for him because the plane is only at constant level for about 15 minutes and is ascending and descending the rest of the time?

I don’t have a car.
Train won’t take dogs.
Bus won’t take dogs.
Rental cars won’t let us return it in Michigan.
Oh yeah and he’s 15 inches tall not including his head so WAY too big to be allowed in the cabin (crates can be no bigger than 8 inches tall)
I may be MOVING back to Canada on Friday (with any luck). My dad would drive down in a week or so to get all my stuff. I don’t want to leave him in IL not knowing when I’d be able to get him back.
my town only has enterprise. I also called rent-a-wreck (can’t go out of state), and budget- everyone said no.
I just called Hertz and they have NO additional drop fee and I can even drop it off across the border in Canada which saves my parents waiting to cross the bridge and driving all the way to the airport in Detroit.

Good, safe places to live in Chicago?

I may be getting a job in downtown Chicago, and I’d like to know the safe places to live in Chicago that are affordable. I am coming from mid-sized Eau Claire, Wisconsin (about 60k people). I know the West and South sides are not good, and the North side is safe. That’s about all I know. I need somewhere that is less than $1200 a month on rent, has garages for parking and allows cats and dogs. And perhaps somewhere near a train/subway stop where I can catch it to downtown.

Serious answers only, please. Thanks.
