| Does Anyone Else Walk Their Yorkie In The Rain? I seriously feel like a crazy dog lady when I have to walk Pao in the rain today. He was in his raincoat and so was I. Reason being, he refused to poop if we do not go for a walk. We do not have a fenced in yard yet and he wouldn't stop whining if he doesn't get his walk every day. Maybe I am too sensitive but I feel like my neighbours are all looking out the window at me and Pao thinking we are crazy. If that wasn;t bad enough, he refused to poo the first time and keep farting after that so we went out for another round two hours later also under the rain sigh. Does anyone else do the same thing? If so, do you feel the same?

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | We have a fenced back yard but she hates the rain. She will go out in just about anything BUT rain. I bought her a rain coat and she hates it. You'd think she was sugar and going to melt.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Ha! Thor is the same way. I've gotten him two different rain coats, booties, even a doggie umbrella. He still hate, hate, hates the rain. It wasn't such a big deal this year because San Francisco was so dry, but I'm not sure what we're going to do for exercise during next year's rainy season.

| You know, I do think it is better for them to dislike the rain than love the rain. At least, the Mommies do not have to suffer in cold and wet with them. Nothing phase Pao; not the snowstorm, not the rain, not the loud noise of the ongoing construction in our neighbourhood, NOTHING! He is just so outgoing and he wants to go out ALL the time. I really can't wait for some grass to be put in and have our own fenced-in backyard. Meanwhile, I just secretly wished he won't like the rain so much.

| Yes we go outside no matter if itīs sunny, rainy or it snows. Rambo hates the rain too but he walks with us and for Zorro itīs all the same. For him it doesnīt matter how the weather is. Only when itīs cold I put both boys in their warm pullovers because they hate clothes. |

| Yes, I walk Chester in the rain. Well normally just sprinkling or light rain. I didn't know it was raining this morning when I took him out, and he walked outside and turned right back around, lol. I would like to find him a raincoat. I feel terrible that he gets all wet. I try to keep it quick but he is never in a rush to do his business.

| Noelle seems not to mind the rain and takes her grand old time pottying and finding the perfect spot to go to the potty. But if it is snowing, she'll hold it unless I stay out with her for an unreasonable amount of time. |

| you went out in the weather we had today???? wow that is a loving dedicated mom good for you! I think it's great that you take him out- he needs the fresh air and exercise and i'm sure he poops a lot faster Layla is scared of this wind we have been having so we've only been out twice today. |

| I've taken the girls out if it was like a misty rain but not in the pouring rain. I say that they don't like rain but I'm not sure about that. Last fall my husband was barbequing on the deck and all of a sudden it started to pour. I'm looking for the girls in the family room and they were nowhere to be found. I look out the family room window and see two of my girls flying around the yard and let me tell you..they were completely soaked! They looked like they were actually enjoying the rain. Silly girls..needed to be blow dryed off when they came in... |

| I'll take them out if it's not raining too bad. They have a couple of different raincoats. If it's pouring, I just take them in the garage with a pad.

I honestly don't even think that he would potty on a pad if for some reason we couldn't go outside.
