    I allowed multiple choice, for those of you with multiple dogs ...

    I'd count Sheba, the Shepherd/Doberman first dog in my life, as indifferent - she had her jobs to do, rounds to make, children to supervise, the weather didn't matter!

    Gracie the Great Dame mix, of course, is the one I referred to in the initial post - she would get to the point where she had to piddle so badly she was dancing in place on the covered part of the porch before she could not hold it any longer, would make a mad dash out and across the driveway, and piddle on the first bit of grass her paws touched and dash back to "safety" ... silly girl was 1/4 Lab but obviously those genes didn't reach the brain when it came to water!

    Ha ha, what a difference in these two dogs.

    Are you gonna make one for cats, too?

    Do you think I should? You can! I don't have any personal cats versus rain experience!

    Towser is pretty indifferent to the rain, thankfully. I remember trying to get RB Ethan to go potty when it was raining was next to impossible. It usually ended up with me getting soaked from holding an umbrella over that poor dog as he wandered about.

    Jasper doesn't like the rain, but will go out in it. He knows to come sit on the porch and wait for me to dry the paws, too. Only stops and sits after a trip in the rain, normally he runs right in.

    Jake isn't bothered much by the rain. Layla acts like she's gonna melt.
