Need DOG tip-Rainy Days

**SOPEK** · 05-17-11, 01:10 AM

What do you do?

Today was a rainy day non-stop my dog-(s) my boy persist we go out for a walk; He cried and cried and scratched the front door. It’s pouring rain outside so there’s no way I was going out.
After like two hours of non-stop whimpering and everyone in the house telling me to take them out. I saw the rain “slow down” a bit, so I strapped on my snow boots I never use and some snow-water proof pants and with my umbrella I gave it a go ( I didn’t want to wear the poncho

). OF Course as soon as start walking the Heavy rain starts but I’m like ‘screw it I got ready so let go’. So I walk them for like 15mins. I couldn’t do more because of the rain and my huskies coats act like a’ sponges.

I walk my Dogs everyday for an hour or more. I do a mix of walking running every walk and they don’t carry a back pack
They are now 5-6 months
During the day They are indoors and outdoors at night-meaning they sleep outside (all, by their choice)

My question is
What do you suggest I do in rainy days?

What do you do in rainy days ?

My dog looks outside and says "fuck that!" If its windy or rainy he doesnt want to go out, if he really really has to pee he runs out and goes real quick.

lol u should get one of those cork screw thingys for a leash put it down in your yard and when the rainy day comes and ur dog is bugging you, you take him out put him on that thing and wait
come back in 20 minutes and your dog will never wana go out on a rainy day again

Buy a bigger house with room to run indoors. Mine uses my couch as an obstacle course. Damn dog.

Put on your Surplus gear and pretend you're in 'Nam.

Bonus points if your animal companion thinks the local sewer is a fox hole, or you rescue your neighbors garden gnome from its "jungle interment camp."
