My poor dogs

[wvjules]

they won't leave the porch if its raining out and guess what....its been raining all evening. I keep taking them out hoping that they'll have to go bad enough to brave the rain but they never do. It was only a light drizzle before but now its a heavy downpour and I know they won't go off the porch. I'm ready for bed! Will they pee in their room tonight if they have to go or will they hold it until morning? I'll feel bad either way but I wont' stay up all night waiting for the rain to stop.

your gonna have to get your coat on and go out with them, ( if you see me going by, open rain coat and flash me )

I got this huge golf umbrella to take our dog out. I wear a raincoat and hold the umbrella over the prince whilst he goes.

For the dog who has everything:

Usually I give mine a gentle shove out the door. That is enough to make them hurry up and do their business and get back inside.

If one of mine holds it too long she gets nasty kidney infections so I have to do that to keep her from getting sick.

I had a dog like that once. She would stand on her front paws so her back paws wouldn't get wet if the ground was wet. I even saw her a few times literally balance on ONE paw to pee to avoid getting her little pawsies wet. When it's raining and time to pee, ya just gotta do what ya gotta do and get wet to take them out. Having to pee and not being able to is painful - for kids and for dogs.

My husband used to call sending the dog out the back door a "Mom Walk". He would put a leash on her and walk her around the block in the rain. They were both wet, but there was no dog pee in our bedroom at night.
