Puppy HATES the rain!

My (rescue) dog hated mud, water, rain and any kind of dirt, so I'm guessing she was a "townie" dog in her previous life. When out walking, if we came to somewhere muddy, she would stop and look at me as if saying: "But mummy I can't possibly walk through this! It's dirty!" :rotfl:

I just told her to get on with it and said "come on, it's ok" etc and she'd walk through it like a drag queen in stilettos She's fine with all of it now, but will only go swimming in the lake if there's a bird on it. If there are no birds, she pretends she's scared of the water

Yes, she's a weird dog

Just watch out for the "front paws out the door, ooh it's raining, stay put and squat with rear end still inside " routine.
Particularly likely to happen when rain turns to snow, previous experience has shown.

And the pretend wees - out, squat, shoot back in having done nothing, then major sulk when they get thrown back out to do it properly.
