I particularly liked this one except change the wording to *outside in the rain and sleet and snow in the dark.* That was me back in February 2001 when Bella was a puppy. I always said I would never get a puppy in the winter for that reason. Once I saw her I was hooked though. I am sure my neighbors enjoyed seeing me in my bathrobe holding an umbrella many times too.
