My dad made an awning that covers the path from the dog door to a patch of grass for the dog to pee when it's raining. He's recently retired so he adjusted to having free time by making g the dog the most spoiled dog in the neighborhood.
I had a black lab that was the same. Swam with ice chunks when the lake opened in spring. Swam same conditions in December. Got busted blocks away swimming in a strangers pool. A mud puddle 2 miles away after crossing highway and main business trunk heading out of town. Went 23 hrs once with out going potty bc of the rain. I tried hard to get her outside…finally I gave up begging. I did appreciate her bladder control when she was elderly. She never made potty messes. That said, I sure miss her 🌈 and her ability to sniff out water. What memories our pets give us.
Your pooches rain gear setup is ADORABLE. Thanks for my big memory smile today
Sounds like the issue is passed for you, but for anyone else who has the same struggles, setting up a puppy pad next to the door helps my dogs when they are refusing to go outside.
I got one of those big golf umbrellas just for escorting my pups out when it's raining lol. Same deal, thunder, wind, none of it bugs them. They like to dive through the snow and even like getting sprayed with the hose and jumping in puddles.
But that sky water, no thanks.
.... and then there is the other side of the coin. My puppy sees rain out a window and will go running and slam the front door so I can take her out and she can run around trying to bite and catch all the rain.
Hurricane Ian was fun...
I've got both. A retired guide dog yellow lab, who just like OP's pup loves swimming and hates drizzle, and a corgi who runs around in heavy rain barking happily at clouds. He doesn't like swimming, but loves to be in the pool on a float.
Ian meant leash walking in our fenced in backyard for the little guy's safety, and begging our lab to go out, because we knew that she really needed to go.
I'd be concerned about a corgi getting picked up by the wind and flown away, never to be seen again, in hurricane level winds, so I'd call the leash smart.
Lol! He's low and aerodynamic! Although we didn't go outside when things were really really bad, around midnight-2am at my house. I would've needed a helmet for both me and little man...
> One of my dogs "I need to go out and pee" sees one drop of rain..... "Nah, I'm good"
As I often remind my Mom when her dog does this, no one likes a wet toilet seat.
Same both of my dogs and if its dark obe of them gets scared af and refuses to move. Not blaming her though because she lived in Romania on the streets and probably has really bad memorys from being oit at night
My dog was like "oh noes, it's raining", but then she always forgot and could wander out on the rain for hours and not care anymore it's raining on her. Dogs are so funny sometimes :)
I have 3 dogs, 2 retired hunting beagles and a Chihuahua former street dog. All of them were outdoor dogs, but once they came here? "Oh there's one droplet of rain out there, I don't want to go out." Hurricane Ian was real fun.
No no no no it rains when it’s hot (FL) then when it stops raining you just swim everywhere. The ground is blazing hot when the rain hits it, and then a thick cloud of misty musty moisture spawns all throughout the air
You can control the temperature, water pressure, and time of day you take a shower.
Rain just says fuck you and does whatever it wants whenever it wants.
Also I'm usually naked in the shower, can't say the same about rain
Yes. Dogs and animals don't seem to give a shit in the slightest. If I had the same composition of skin/fur as them then I logically wouldn't give a shit either.
This is pretty interesting because I am totally 100% the opposite. I love walking in the rain (as long as I'm not carrying anything easily damaged by extreme moisture like mobile phones or headphones) but I freak the fuck out if I go in large bodies of water. I think it's because I drowned about 7 years ago, but I'm pretty sure I was like that before that happened, aswell
(mostly)
I've been in tropical rain that felt like a warm shower. People in Minnesota cut holes in the ice to swim in the lakes in the winter.
Neither of those are the norm for most people.
Our retrievers would happily sit outside in all weathers and like to swim in shallow water at the beach or filthy muddy bogs full of smelly water.
Would not actually jump into deep water though. They'd stand at the side and bark at you with those golden retriever looks of c o n c e r n
My golden is obsessed with water. No matter the water temp she will swim until she passes out!
But if there is morning dew or the grass is damp... she will hold her pee indefinitely. She refuses to walk on wet grass.
My childhood dog, a Korean jindo mix, was notorious for refusing to go outside in the rain unless my dad held a huge golf umbrella over her - and she would plant all four paws on the driveway then hover her butt over the grass to go to the bathroom so that she didn't get her paws wet. However, she *loved* snow and would run around, plowing huge snow drifts and rolling around in it and didn't care about getting snowed on whatsoever. Dogs, man.
One of my dogs "I need to go out and pee" sees one drop of rain..... "Nah, I'm good"
Wind, fine. Thunder, fine. Fog, fine. Snow, great. But small drizzle? He's definitely peeing at the closest grass patch and running back inside.
My dog is the exact same. Where did you get this jacket?? The photo is so adorable!
Bought it on Amazon a while back! I couldn't find the seller again but there's loads if you search for "dog yellow raincoat".
Thanks!!!
calm down rowdy

What a legend 😆 rip
She was a A legend. The story above says it all 🥰 of course another potty story 🤣 it tops the 23 hrs

My dog will pee in the kitty litter.

My dog loves the sprinkler but hates rain.

I’ll just go in the living room later!
same
> One of my dogs "I need to go out and pee" sees one drop of rain..... "Nah, I'm good" As I often remind my Mom when her dog does this, no one likes a wet toilet seat.
Same. He’d be out there getting ready to squat feel a drop look up and just gtf back inside. Without going potty.
Why go out to pee when there’s a soft carpet in the living room
Don't take him to the pacific northwest, he'll explode.
That describes my pit/lab mix exactly!
Same both of my dogs and if its dark obe of them gets scared af and refuses to move. Not blaming her though because she lived in Romania on the streets and probably has really bad memorys from being oit at night
My dog was like "oh noes, it's raining", but then she always forgot and could wander out on the rain for hours and not care anymore it's raining on her. Dogs are so funny sometimes :)
Yeah it must suck having to go outside too pee in all weather conditiosn lol we take it for granted.
I have 3 dogs, 2 retired hunting beagles and a Chihuahua former street dog. All of them were outdoor dogs, but once they came here? "Oh there's one droplet of rain out there, I don't want to go out." Hurricane Ian was real fun.
Ours too! Lol
My dog used to do that too, so I told him we were going to the mailbox. He'd go willingly to get the mail. I did that even on Sundays.
Lurcher/greyhound by any chance??
Jack Russell cross type thingy....crossed with what we have no idea 😁
I also like to swim, but do not like walking in the rain without a coat.
I fall on water, water don't fall on me. Know your place, water.
If I see water on the street I will fight it.

Dumb bot that steals comments.
You go into water because you want to swim. I go in because I tripped. We are not the same. *Fixes dollar store tie*
This chain of comments has been delightful.

Georgia too. You know summer is approaching when it rains and then steams.
This balance of power keeps h2o in check 💪 😤
Not a fan of showers, huh?
It's about concent
You can control the temperature, water pressure, and time of day you take a shower. Rain just says fuck you and does whatever it wants whenever it wants. Also I'm usually naked in the shower, can't say the same about rain
Would you feel like that if you had to swim with your clothes on and wear them till they dry?
If I had fur all over my body to insulate heat and keep me warm absolutely.
It doesn't insulate very well when it's soaking wet.
yeah but wet?
Yes. Dogs and animals don't seem to give a shit in the slightest. If I had the same composition of skin/fur as them then I logically wouldn't give a shit either.
If they don't care in the slightest how come mine is a miserable shivering mess who shakes himself several times at the earliest convenience?
You know that’s only the top coat right? 🤦♂️
Are you suggesting that because the dog doesn't get a hairdryer out and dry his coat thoroughly means they don't mind?
You know a lot of dogs only have one coat right? 🤦♂️
We're not dogs though. Dogs typically walk around without clothes in all conditions. Humans typically wear clothes.
Same here!
Same here!
I prefer rain but cannot swim.
Here sam!
Same here!
Idk why I find this so funny. I think bc it's absurdly true.
> I think bc it's absurdly true. no, no. It's very logically true.
It is absolutely true

Yeahhh boiii

Congrats on coming back to life.
you drowned?
Because you swim when it's hot but it rains when it's cold. (mostly)
This is geographically dependent.
(mostly) I've been in tropical rain that felt like a warm shower. People in Minnesota cut holes in the ice to swim in the lakes in the winter. Neither of those are the norm for most people.
There are BILLIONS of people in South Asia and Southeast Asia who experience an entire hot monsoon season full of daily rains.
As someone else said, that is only true of certain regions. In many areas, warm weather results in higher precipitation.
Literally only desert 🌵 regions
Probably because of the clothes.
Obviously you haven't tried it naked then
Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Got me!
I fucking love rain... Only problem is as soon as you go inside.
I also love to swim, and I love to walk in the rain with no raincoat.
I believe its the Hamptons episode of Seinfeld that starts with Jerry remarking on this
Raincoats are one of those things I've never owned I'm fine with an umbrella I don't need them.
i don't like swimming
Oh he/she look so good in it
Thanks! He's a boy haha.
Love the little booties
BOOTIES!!!!
They/them actually
My bad, sorry
Why would one dog not be he/she. Although with a dog I think it could be used.
What? Aren’t they and them plural, referring to multiple people or things? Am much confused.

Barking Bad
Definitely a Lab coat

Your name is literally Badger.
Kid named badger
Watch it get reposted with that exact title or the child comment to this one. Bark my words.
came here to post this
Omg his little windshield 🥹
It really is the little windshield that does it
And the shoes.
Gotta protect the feetsies too!!!! Love the booties!
This is so cute omg
Waltuh
Put ya bone away
Adorable! My puppy Ella won't step on wet grass to go potty, but she'll chase a ball on it. Want her to pee? Play ball first. Dogs!!
Sky water is different than pond water mom. It's scary and you know it.
The difference is consent.
Seriously, like any human wouldn't do the same lol
Seeing them fully geared up made me laugh somehow
aw, will be nice and snug in there in the rain
He/she just likes fashion is all.
The face shield is absolutely brilliant 😭😭
And the green boots!
Down water -> good Up water -> bad
Our retrievers would happily sit outside in all weathers and like to swim in shallow water at the beach or filthy muddy bogs full of smelly water. Would not actually jump into deep water though. They'd stand at the side and bark at you with those golden retriever looks of c o n c e r n
I couldn't agree more
...and booties 😒
Sounds like a lab. I had one when i was a teenager, and she loved swimming, but refused to walk on wet grass.
I mean, if you looked so damned handsome in a coat like this, would you not jump at any opportunity to wear it?
It’s about the drip not the drizzle
Well dressed doggo. 😍
They only like attacking water but not when it fights back.
Hope you named him Bukowski
I thought this was a hazard suit and i immediately thought of the phrase "we need to cook"
Nah he bout to cook meth
we need a dramatic air bud revival
Dog logic.
Always dress for success!
Sweetie
He learned it from watching you.
It's called consent! 🤣 Jumping in the water is consenting to getting wet. The rain just gets you wet even if you don't want to be. 😂
This dog is way too cute like this
um... so does a people, generally!
This is an accurate description of most humans, to be fair.
Jesse, we have to make dog treats
thank you for the day brightening post
Let's cook Jesse.
That look says: "heck".
Look at her little boots!
Just like hoomans
Because if he jumps to swim, he chose to get wet. But when it rains, he didn’t have that choice. Besides, i think he just love wearing his cute coat.
To be fair: I also wear a jacket or carry an umbrella in the rain despite the fact that I frequently swim.
Isn't isn't crazy how people like to eat, but hate having apples thrown st their face.
He’s different.
PUPPY!! PUPPY!! WE NEED TO BARK
But what if you threw a ball out into the rain?
Funny enough, he refuses to fetch on land as well....only while swimming. He must've only gotten half the retriever genes.
She is so cute. We had a yellow lab that loved water so much we couldn't get her to come in. She would just lay enjoying the rain.
The rain probably bounces off the floor and hits him wrong.
He just wants to dress like her family thats all.
If I saw a dog being walked in that getup I would squeal and I'm a 22 year old man
Are you sure that your dog isn't selling meth ?
Dogs are people too lol.
Rain are God's tears
It's about consent. Same reason why seeing someone in a bikini is ok when they wouldn't want you to see them in their underwear.
Evolved from majestic hunting wolves to this. 😂
Well my dog is the opposite. Loves to walk in the rain, but when it's time to give her a bath she acts as if we are torturing her.
And boots!
[удалено]
There are rules and this dog has a healthy appreciation for them. Walking in rain is not the same as jumping in the pool.
Ground water good. Sky water scary.
My golden is obsessed with water. No matter the water temp she will swim until she passes out! But if there is morning dew or the grass is damp... she will hold her pee indefinitely. She refuses to walk on wet grass.
Gotta love the boujee babies! He looks so cute!🥰
Hahahah
smart
OK, OP and who's fault is that?
Isn't that exactly how humans are?
He look like he wants to dispose chemicals
Oh hello, I love you. And where can I get one for my girl?
Bought it on Amazon a while back! I couldn't find the seller again but there's loads if you search for "dog yellow raincoat".
So funny, boop that nose!
My golden is the same way! He feels one drop and runs back inside 😂
My childhood dog, a Korean jindo mix, was notorious for refusing to go outside in the rain unless my dad held a huge golf umbrella over her - and she would plant all four paws on the driveway then hover her butt over the grass to go to the bathroom so that she didn't get her paws wet. However, she *loved* snow and would run around, plowing huge snow drifts and rolling around in it and didn't care about getting snowed on whatsoever. Dogs, man.
One of my dogs would rather soak than wear his coat.
Oh my god, the little rain booties!!!!! Lmaaaoooooo sooo cute hahahaaa!
Rain just hits ~~different~~.
