A Hurricane's A Coming

If you are on the east coast I hope you are all safe and not getting dumped on too bad by the hurricane! The rain has started today but it isn't supposed to get really windy and torrential rain until tonight! We spent yesterday getting the lawn mowed, shingling the house, picking up the yard etc. This a.m. doing everything we need to before the power goes out....I'd be shocked if it doesn't.
Do you have a dog that won't go outside when it is raining? Sometimes the easiest thing to do is go out with your dog too! Put on your rain coat, take out an umbrella and sometimes that is all it takes. Scout will occasionally step to the door, look up at me as if to say "you gotta be kidding me" and backups up into the house. However, if I put on my boots and coat and go out he has the best time AND uses the bathroom. Think of the little dogs walking through the grass. Not only do their feet get wet but usually their belly's are getting wet in the grass too. No wonder they are hesitant! Be patient and bear the bad weather with them, use an umbrella and play in the rain!
