I was out at the "old homestead" today, and remember how Gracie, our Great Dane, was so convinced rain would dissolve her delicate self (Gracie being 145 lbs, 3/4 Great Dane, 1/4 Lab) that when would dance anxiously on the top of the porch when she needed to piddle on a rainy like today, and finally when she simply couldn't hold it any longer, dash down the stairs across the driveway and piddle on the first patch of grass she hit! She would than sprint back up the stairs to the "safety" of the porch. Temperature didn't bother her much, but rain was just terrible, awful stuff!
