Do you walk your dog in the rain?
 

I have been a pretty good owner (IMHO) and take my dog for a walk every night I am home, no matter how late or cold it is, but not really looking forward to tonight's walk since it appears it is going to keep on raining.

What do you people that live in inclement weather areas do? Tough it out or tell the dog "tough luck?"

Yes i do. The girl i see on my route is always horny, rain or not.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Dogs go out 3-4 times a day min... rain, sleet, or snow...

Yes, I actually did last Saturday ...

not really looking forward to it, the "postgirl" ? just inspired me

Only if he was a bad dog...

No walks lately for our dog. It's been -15 degrees at times the past few days!

I literally have to drag my bulldog out the house so she can do her thing. I open up the front door and then she always turns to look at me like "You crazy motherfucker you honestly think I'm gonna go piss andshit in that rain?". Thank god it doesn't rain here in Southern California! LOL

hell no!... I wouldn't go out tonight unless I was paid a hefty premium for it...

Don't have too, I have a big yard, so when it rains, he is smart enough not to go outside and get wet. I don't think I could even drag my dog out in the rain, if I wanted too.

Yep I hold an umbrella too for them, although yea I'd have the drag them out

I do, better to get a little wet, then have the house stink like shit. She is usually like lightening in the rain, she wants to get in as fast as i do

if he doesn't want to go out than no - else yes...
that's democracy... I would respect his decision... :)

of course, the dog has to pee no matter what, right? I've already walked Caspian 2x today.. I carried an umbrella and wore a jacket.. not so bad :)

We don't go for walks so he can pee. We do it so he can check out what is new in the world.

yeah, and i always do

If it`s raining, my Staffie refuses to go out in the garden to have a piss or a poo so I have to go stand out in the rain and eventually she follows after several minutes. Different story if it`s a "proper" walk over the park...she will happily go out whatever the weather.

I'm glad I don't have any animals that require you to take care of them, all my animals are smart and self sufficient.

but hun, if you believe your dog has no feelings, then why walk him at all? :)

My dog wants nothing to do with rain

My dog hates it but yes I walk her in the rain. I'm a bad mommy so I make her walk around the block.


:(

My cats never ask to be taken for a walk. Sometimes they ask for an afternoon nap so I nap with them.

They never ask for their litterbox to be emptied - since my cats are toilet trained. The most they ask for is food, fresh water, and please flush the fucking toilet John.

Pussy is always better than dog shit.

The logic of a woman will never fail to amaze me.

you dog humped me silly last year ... i vaguely remember loll

He remembers it vividly.

Of course, I am not gonna let them shit and piss in my house. :2 cents:

I did not used to in PHX but now that I am in Portland and it never stops raining I have to. :-(

My dogs hate the rain.. they will wait till it is over lol ..Or at least lets up if it is bad..

i never do, i dont mind being in the rain but nothing smells worse than wet dog

\My dog has control of his bodily functions. A walk for a dog is like reading the newspaper for people.

Yeah, that part is a drag, but they have to get wet sometime.

My dogs are the same way. lol You think I was asking them to go into acid.

funny thing is the wetter and windier it is the more my retriever loves it...he goes absolutely nuts outside when its pouring and windy....Ive walked him during typhoons so not a big deal...luckily he drys quick.

Yeah, but I am not a retriever and have been fighting a cold. He is just lucky I am a nice guy.

it's almost christmas time... maybe time for santa to bring the doggy an umbrella?

Sure thing, if they are trained well, they know they must go but they are in a hurry and finish fast.

I am more concerned with his feet. He soaks up water like a sponge and my house is mostly tile and hardwood floors so his tracks are all over the place.

No, I will not put booties on him. I wish I could teach him to wipe them before he came inside.

I live in HK and so dont have the option of living in a house with a backyard so with a big dog not much choice in the matter. He goes out atleast twice a day everyday....and if Im not able to take him myself (ie really really sick, monster hangover or out of town) then I have the helper do it.

LOL I love you too Bad Dog.. cya in Vegas baby!;)

I have cobby chihuahua's. That means short legs. A rain puddle could drown them and 3 inches of snow and we need to call in the avalanche team to find them...hence they are pee pad trained although in the summer they do go for walks in nice weather. They do not like getting their feet wet, so rainy days are out.

How about Hawaii? I have a special menu set up just for you.

:1orglaugh I'd get killed walking my dog with that
