Well, its been constantly drizzling here for the last two days. Last night I took Maddie for  a walk and, although it was raining only lightly, I wondered why my leg felt considerably wet. When I got home I looked down and all up the one side of me from my foot to my head, was splashed in mud and completely soaked. Those flippin' webbed feet of hers' had just kicked all the rain/mud back at me all down my left side :rolleyes: The kids thought it was funny, but i didn't - at the time :P

Get some "Galoshers' gal!!! ROFL :D :D
dont know how to spell that?? but its just one of those words I love saying!
or....
go all Victoria sitwell-domanatrix....and get Rubber Waders!!!
or....
take comfort in knowing you dont live near me I am over run with Toads at the moment! whilst running round the drive with Storm playing tag with me in 'puppy mad half hour mode'...I skidded on something fell over..put my hand in it as I fell back.....
Squished Toad!! *bleuuuugh!!*
:P

At least your dogs will go out in the rain! I'm thinking of sending Lola back and asking for a refund as she's obviously defective. I mean, who ever heard of a Newfoundland that didn't like to get wet :rolleyes: No problem with diving into the river, going tearing into the sea or wallowing in a muddy puddle but the first sign of a bit of rain and she refuses to set foot outside the door :rolleyes:

My Staffy is the same, :rolleyes: he will dive in puddles, goes like a crazed dog when out walking/running in the rain, but when it is time for him to go outside at night for a toilet you have to push his bum and ease him out the back door

Hi

Funny isnt it how they stand at the back door wanting out. Running back and forwards because they are so deperate. You open the door they look out and see the rain and decide dont really need after all and wander of back in the house :rolleyes:

Wendy

Ahh now both of mine will go out in the rain no trouble at all.  What i'm trying to fathom is how Toby will come back completely clean not a speck of mud on him where as JJ comes back looking as if he's the monster from the blacl lagoon. :-)

Yuk squished toad maybe I will invest in some wellies :P
Its chucking it down now, and what do mine want to do? Play in it! And why do they want to drink from the puddles when there's fresh water in the bowls? :rolleyes: The only dog I've ever had that poked her nose out of the door to see what the weathers' like, then come back in and cross her legs cos it was raining, is Missie :D
Only problem with this weather is the slugs are out - double yuk!

Mmm..slugs...*ick!*
(Go on get the Rubber waders on!...you know you want to ;) )

mmm... rubber waders, wax jacket, sowester?  Do Matalan stock these?

Makes me laugh. My eldest has a fit if I try to put her in the garden for wees when its raining. But rattle that lead and she's well up for a wet run across the fields. Who's testing who? :rolleyes:

Thats exactly the same as Missie, wont go in the garden in the rain but will go out on her lead :rolleyes:

must be the bc part ;)

Nope the Elkhounds are the same, will cross their legs all day not wanting to go outside for a wee in the rain, but shwo them the leads and that is a different matter.

Sitting here with wet hair, damp Jeans and three damp steaming towelled off Girls.

Just had a look at your dogs (not knowing what elkhounds were) and they are lovely Barbara :)

And I'm sitting here wondering why I bovvered mopping the floors this morning :rolleyes:

Dee

Shush don;t let them hear you they think theya re lovely too.  As soon as a passerby goes ahh aren't they lovely they slam on the brakes and preen, vain creatures

    !!!
I saw them first Missie!! gerrrrroff the Elg Hunds they are my long lost love!
(Brainless's pics are quite stunning though arnt they :D)
oops..sorry shouldve whispered that B! are the curlies looking suitably smug now!! (tee hee!)

move over HG! stop pushing!! *ouch*

ooops 'sorry' Missie..Caaaaant think how I managed to stab you with my umberella point there! ;) :P
Alls fair in love,war...and scrambling to get closest to the Elk Hounds!! :P

right in my eye as well  *humph*

Ooh, that's gotta smart.

Well have a look on the up close and personal page and you will see hwo close they like to get :D

yes it did JG, snivel, I now look like a pirate with my eye patch :(

Had a look at that page Barbara, (with one eye ;) ) looked at most actually and loved the puppy pics :)

I love their coats after rain though.  Funny how a bath will never have them feeling so nice, but once they dry after a good soaking in the rain they feel so luvverly. :D  Wet Nordic dog smell isn't as bad as most wet dogs either, well it don't bother me none

:-D Same here - 4 who won't go on the mudbath that used to be lawn and 1 white dog who comes back blacker than the gordons!!

Last night trotted up and down (me that is) trying to encourage the 7 month that he really did want to wee on the 'lawn' - couldn't get him to relieve himself at all.  Tucked them all up for bed - turned my back and the monster peed on the floor!!!  :(  But if we are going for a run - he's quite happy to come along!

Rumour has it this weather is here for the whole week - get those wellies and raincoats out!

:D :D
Its when you have to run out in the pouring rain at night in your pyjamas to fetch the one you forced out who is now sheltering under the tree and refusing to budge!! :rolleyes:

:-D :-D :-D

Ditto! :D :D so true!

I took mine out along the beach this morning, when I looked down at my 3 they all had sand blasted faces poor things. I took them off the beach through the dunes!! Wish I'd had my camera on me!!
