    Ever walk in the rain?

    It's been pouring rain all day...I worked night shift tonight, so I didn't actually see it all night (work downstairs...no windows) so I got home around 1:30am and was like "I REALLY wanna walk in this!" I have NO idea WHY I wanted to....Usually I DON'T want to get wet...but I guess seening I wasn't going out anywhere, it didn't matter that my hair got all wet and crappy. I took Zeke with me and went for a short walk...Zeke HATES water. We got to the end of the drive way, he peed then ran back to the door and looked at me. I was like "uhh...we're WALKING Zeke" and he followed me but didn't wanna come! On the way back though he kept trying to run home, seeing I had him off leash (no way dogs would be out this time of night in the pouring rain plus I only went up the road and held him if a car went past) but I just have to tell him to wait for me. Once we crossed the road and were almost at the drive way, I told him "OK!!!" and he dashed to the door.. haha It's so weird he doesn't even want to go for a walk (which he LOVES) if it's raining...

    So, am I weird or do other people like it sometimes?

    I hate getting wet, so no - if it's raining and I don't have an umbrella, I'm dashing to wherever I need to go.

    As for Samantha - it seems as though she's taken after her prissy, girly-girl mommy and hates it as well. She would hold it all day if my husband and I didn't MAKE her go out. Nerd.

    I LOVE to walk in the rain, as long as it's not thundering and lightening out. I laugh when people run, saying, "Oh my God, I'm getting soaked!!!" Hey! It's only water!!!

    I do like to walk in the rain, as long as there's no lightning
    going on. A nice light rain is cool to walk in.

    I love to walk in the rain. Without an umbrella. Getting soaked to the skin. Then home to a warm bubble bath. Ahhhhh Also like to walk in the snow when big, fluffy snowflakes are coming down. I'm sorry, but I laugh at people with umbrellas. They are missing the fun (unless, of course, you're on your way to something important and you don't want to show up looking like a wet dog).

    When the dogs gotta pee & poop...he's gotta pee & poop. I love walking in the rain. It's good for your skin (a natural moisturizer). I went to the beach yesterday and walked in the rain with Fenway. It was misting at first so he didn't mind it but then it started to come down a little harder and he was like, "yikes...lets get back to the car quick!" I could have walked for miles in the rain if he'd let me.

    I love to do that when it is warm, it is soooo refreshing then.
    Most people always start running when it starts raining ; I NEVER do that, Getting a bit wet never killed anybody
    Last week when I came out of the grocery store with a full shopping cart, it was raining VERY hard. Other women waited till it was a bit better; but did Lut do this??? NOOOOO, I walked to my car, and took all the time needed to load everything into the trunk . Then I brought the cart back to the "cart-alley". Oh my, I was SOAKING wet

    Yes, I do walk occasionally in the rain but with an umbrella. I really enjoy being out in the rain, it's so relaxing. I enjoy walking in the snow even more!

    Personally I would rather avoid the rain, as I am out in it often helping my daughter deliver some of her papers, and today it is blowing a gale and rainy and cold and I have a cold , so NO I am not looking forward to that one little bit.

    However I can understand going out in a nice sun shower or a mild drizzle, that I don't really mind at all.

    I guess it all comes down to whether you have a choice or not.

    I haven't walked in the rain for quite some time, seeing how it hasn't rained for the past two months, but I do love to walk in the rain. I remember one time my friend Amy and I went mud wrestling during a downpour, that was a blast! Horseback riding in the rain is a hoot too...swimming on horseback while it is raining is a double bonus.
