Reminds me of First Shepherd Casey (RB ) who had NO problem with snow ...
but had a major hang-up with *rain*!

She loved getting soaking wet - as long as there was a 2-Legger getting wet at the same time!
"Outies" in the rain didn't happen unless the 2-Legger stepped off the porch WITH her!
And she *watched* over her shoulder ... make a fast move back under cover
and she'd *stop* in mid-pee and often beat you back onto the porch!

Sure do *miss* that Girl!!
