Rain, Rain Go Away! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It's raining this morning like it's supposed to be raining for the next week.

I had to carry Mojo out this morning because he was not going outside on his own. When I put him down, he stayed frozen in place, like he was just petrified to move. I'm already teased about his booster seat and his bows... but what am I to do? The little guy has to potty outside, so I guess I'll have to find something to provide some sort of shelter from the rain... Please pray the sun comes out or I'm going to need to make some kind of cabana just so he'll go pee outside!

Same here in the Chicago area. We have a small raft tied to the back door that the dogs know how to use to sail out to their favorite spot.

LOL, the one great deficiency in Mojo's training is that I never taught him rafting! Hmm, now I'm thinking what I could do in the backyard to provide shelter for him that wouldn't necessarily look like that's what it was there for.

A tarp-covered sheltered area to the boat launch sounds like a good idea.

I hear ya! Yesterday was sooo beautifull here, sunny and in the 80's, then came the rain, again. We had a terrible storm last night, I'm really tired of the rain and having to clean my kitchen floor of wet dog paw prints practically everyday

Alice doesn't mind going out in the rain, which is surprizing, I on the other hand don't want to stand out there in it while she takes forever to go lol so that's when I really love the piddle pads

Have you tried a doggie rain coat? I guess some dogs would be more bothered by the coat than the actual rain, but just a thought
