Why does it always rain right after I mop? What is that about?

And wet dog = stinky house!

:P

Get some of those astronaut diapers

If they're good enough for NASA and the astronauts, they're good enough for your pooches.

3. Take them out one at a time with an umbrella.

Put little booties on their feet. and then take them off as you enter the house.

[Shell Beau]

4. I wish it were that simple!! Really, my dogs are loony!

If one goes out, they all have to go out! They just want to go out because I put the doggie door down so they can't. They are too spoiled!

5. We used to ask ours if she wanted a bath.

She would go hide.

[Shell Beau]

6. That works with 2 of mine!! They hate the bath tub!

And if I start taking off collars, they are gone! They know the drill!

[tandot]

8. The questions "take a bath?" or "cut your claws?" will send mine into hiding

he hates taking baths or me cutting his claws, even though no one ever cut into his quick.

15. "all" of them...?

How many are we talkin' about here? I'll admit to having visions of small, muddy buffalo stampeding over you as they rush back inside in a wet, muddy whirlwind... :D :hi:

[Shell Beau]

16. I have 3! But one is buffalo like!

90 lbs. of clumsy duffus dog! And the 50 lb.er will take off and jump on my bed. He hates being towel dried. The small one refuses to be wet. She is sooo above that! She'll just find a nice spot on the floor to go! ;)

17. These are the kinds of moral decisions which separate

dog lovers from everyone else...

[Shell Beau]

18. Awwww!!!! Sweet baby!

My sweet babies...










All red, I know!! :crazy:

21. The last shot is classic...enjoying the sun

while making sure noone is getting anything out of the fridge without their knowing about it. Cute pups :toast: judging from the size of their feet I can see why you would have concerns about mud, though. From the looks of that doorway setup, this is definitely doable...gonna' require some towels and at least one other person to control the "traffic flow", though.

[Shell Beau]

22. The last shot is my fave! I wish I got a closer up pic though! Another classic

if you don't mind!

Why buy a doggie bed?

[Adsos Letter]

23. Yep...that's about right. The floor was probably

cooler at the time. Or not. Who knows what they're thinkin' sometimes. All I know is that when we brought Talley home (a rescue from the pound) she wouldn't eat the dry food so my wife heated some chicken broth and poured it over the dry stuff, then fried an egg (over-easy) to top it all off. The dog is mistress of the house... :D

7. same with washing the car -- however -- i don't get the same satisfaction

of getting even when i wash my car.

so if i wash the dog and it rains -- i still have the small satisfaction of some smugness.

moderated by a little rain.

[Shell Beau]

9. Yep! Washing your car automatically means it will rain!

It also happens when I wear white! Why is that?

[xchrom]

10. yup -- white -- hasn't rained in a month of sundays --

wear white -- and bingo!

[undeterred]

11. Catheterize them.

[Shell Beau]

12. Not a bad idea!!

:P

13. my old girl was so trained before we had a dog door

if her feet were wet, she'd hit the floor so we could dry her (and the feet) off all winter

to this day, she hates her feet wet and she'll lay in the laundry room and clean them off before she comes the rest of the way into the house

she's too darned smart to be happy poor thing :rofl:

the other two merrily track up the floors and shake all over the dining room :banghead:

[Shell Beau]

14. Sounds like we have the same dogs!

My oldest little girl started out in an apartment and had a great time schedule! My other 2 are so used to going as they please, they are kind of out of whack! My oldest won't go out if it is raining! She is above getting wet!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Put out a finger bowl of rosewater...

Make sure they dip their little paws and dry them off before they come back in smelling like roses. :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

20. Then it will smell like stinky rose dog!

x( You can't cover up stinky wet dog! Not even with rose water!! :P

[SPKrazy]

24. cause you don't look outside to see the storm coming

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

25. I just let them out! It thundered really loudly and they ran back in!

So they better have done their business before they came back in dammit!!!!

:P

[SPKrazy]

26. use them as mops!

well not really

but tell them that you will i'm sure they will listen :silly:
