On a rainy day, do you use an umbrella to cover your Yorkie?

Hehehe :-P

Tillys_mom · 08-23-2006, 08:48 PM

We use a raincoat on Tilly. I haven't seen that thing in months! I wish I could remember where I placed it!!!

We only go out to potty when it is between showers or just drizzling. Since there are three Yorkies, using an umbrella is impossible.

Jazzie WILL NOT walk on anything wet! So no umbrella, no rain coat, no outside!

alaskayorkie · 08-23-2006, 10:35 PM

Rain is by far my Yorkies' most hated weather condition. They'll race outside and dive in the snow at 10 degrees in the winter. But if they hear rain in the fall, they head back to the couch. If anyone has a suggestion for making rainy walks more enjoyable, I'm all ears.

Uh, but I don't think I could get away with using an umbrella in my neighborhood. The boys would all make fun of me.

it sounds like most yorkies have the same opinion on rain! layla hates it... if we have to go outside to pee.. she won't go on the wet grass.. she pees on the driveway

and wont' even think about pooping i can't wait to see what she thinks of the snow!

Mojo LOVES the rain! Okay, not the thunder or the heavy rain, but if it is raining, he loves to be on the porch (maybe it is the cool breeze or fresh smell or something). Once he comes in, he is sooooo excited and re-engerized - he just runs and runs and wants everyone to play.

I picked the last one - because when we go someplace, he is the one that I keep bundled and covered (not by an umbrella, but in my rain coat) and I am the one who is normally getting wet.....hey, it is all about HIS comfort!!! hee,hee

No, I don't use an umbrella to cover them. They all have their raincoats and it keeps them really dry and looks so cute on them!!

magnolia · 08-24-2006, 05:46 PM

No umbrella here either! Gabby is ALL girl, can't stand to have her feet wet at all!! Therefore, when it's raining, she will go potty in the garage!!! Gage won't even go near the door when it's raining - little chicken

GracieLou · 08-24-2006, 05:48 PM

no umbrella but no pottying outside in the rain! thats when the pee pads are very useful ! lol

Catrina · 08-24-2006, 07:14 PM

LOL funny responses!

Maybe I should go buy Princess a raincoat too!!

I tried this one jacket on her with a hood on it but she HATED IT! she kept on biting the hood thing and didn't like it over her head...

Rae Rae · 08-24-2006, 08:57 PM

I bought a raincoat for Rocky

Lexi Rae · 08-30-2006, 07:02 AM

My Girl Yorkie hated any inclement weather. But, my Boy...he loves it all.

Potter · 10-25-2006, 10:36 AM

My boy has his own raincoat. He doesn't go out when its raining but doesn't mind if it is drizzling a little. I think I dislike the rain more than he does.
