My Maltese will allow me to walk around with him and an umbrella, and he will go. But the umbrella kind of spooks my Yorkie, and if I put him on a leash, he generally won't go, when on a leash.
But, I guess maybe I should just keep trying to leash him and get a big umbrella and keep trying to keep him dry under the umbrella. He might eventually get used to the umbrella. I think the rain slickers might be going back.
But man, when they look so pretty, and have just been cleaned up, it drives me nuts to get rain or snow on them. They never look the same after rain or snow gets on them, I don't care if you do blow dry them.
Now when they're just about to go to the groomer or need a bath in the next day or two...the bad weather doesn't bother me nearly as badly. |
