Drowned rats! OH ya, Sprocket looks just like a drowned rat too! Keep him out of the water? Not a chance, just like other little boys he jumps in the mud puddles wherever he finds one. Loves the rain, which is good cause that's our winter, just not loving the cold, which is not ANYWHERE as bad as some of you, but for us, 40deg is a killer. We also have the rain slickers and a heavy sweater I crocheted him but he does not like to wear anything, but he has no choice, one trip to vet taught me about colds and little dogs with out fur! LOL

When we come in, he runs around and "drys off" on my furniture and carpet. Good thing he doesn't smell like "dog". Way too much fun. I love the silliness.
