I have hoped for rain for weeks and so far it did not seem like I would get any but luckily for me today it is raining. I just love it. Ally will not go outside and I keep wondering how she does it , I mean I have a bathroom where I can go pee but she holds it until the weather is what she likes . Talk about weird, right?

If Ally is human, she could give herself some health issues.

No, Ally is my pup and I do worry about that sometimes as well.

The only 2 I know for sure about Ally is GSD and Husky, the rest is a mystery but she acts a lot like a Husky @Tina30219

Us, too, us too!!! We got a nice dose of rain yesterday - like real rain ! It was awesome and just enough (I'll take any of it!). Today was a sunny but cold, windy day. I guess furry ones are better at mind over matter than us .

If it were easy we wouldn't be as strong as we are @much2say just look how weak some old men are, many can't handle being alone and will look for a wife because they can't or won't learn to cook or clean.

The retriever of my niece did the same, she was very picky about where she wanted to pee.

I don't have one so that isn't a problem. Actually Ally hasn't peed in the house so far but now that she's 8 years old I may have to keep an eye on her.

I love the rain, but I love the sunshine just as much. What I don't like and what you probably done get is snow and freezing temperatures. The only benefit to that kind of weather is if we have it long enough, it does kill off many insects.

I hope you're not in a region that typically gets too much rain but if not than I'm glad you're getting rain too.

I'm glad you have rain. We've had blessedly dry weather but for us precipitation is on the horizon, too. In the form of snow. Dang all Friday. Could mean frozen morning commute Monday. Sorry. I didn't mean to cry on your party hat.

That's sad @JudyEv kritters should have enough space so that their feeding area isn't so close to their elimination area.

I imagine that's normal, most 4leggers don't pee if they're too close to where they sleep. Pretty smart, eh?

@rebelann Very. Pigs always use one corner of their yard as a toilet if they're able. Sometimes they don't have much option about where they toilet.

Dogs are weirdly cute most of the time. Our dog is like that too. Especially this season, Winter. Sometimes I think she's already a grandma..
