Both of mine don't care about the rain. They do know (most of the time) to stop at the door to get their paws dried off.
My brother had a dog that would hold it FOREVER to avoid going out in the rain.
Is oblivious - acts the same rain or no
Loves it, enjoys puddles, mud
Hates it - will refuse to leave the porch/house to potty until desperate
Inconsistent - sometimes reacts, sometimes not
Loves water in any form
Other - explain ...

Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

Angel doesn't mind getting wet, the muck and spray she kicks up onto herself when out on a muddy day doesn't bother her in the least. (It is, however rather unpleasant whenseh decides to curl up with me to get warm!)
Rain falling on her, however, is BAD.
Despite her dislike of rain, however, umbrellas are worse.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
You know, it occurred to me today, it is likely her fear of umbrella stems from her time as a stray, I bet somebody shook one at her or hit her with one, or on a windy Binghamton day, someone lost one, and it "chased" Miss Angel - so that fear, I can understand.

My dog reacts very childish when he is exposed to rain. I think he enjoys to be wet in light shower. He likes to jerk his wet furs on me, might be it is his way to show his affection for me.

Zane will go out if it is sprinkling lightly, but not heavy rain.
Abby and Deputy seem to not mind.
I used to train a Greyhound that would refuse to get off her bed if she could hear rain on the roof - kennel kept dog, would never soil inside - her record was only getting off her bed to eat, not going out, not weeing or pooping for four and half days! We even carried her outside twice a day to let her go to the loo and she remained in the curled up, nose under tail position when put on the wet ground! Simply stayed where she was until lifted back inside her kennel where she would shake herself dry, have a drink and then jump back up to her bed and snuggle back into the straw until the next time we forced her to move!
