Not always the small ones. I'll be wearing my little Ruffles for the duration of any thunderstorm, and earlier if she senses it coming with her Sheltie barometer. :uhoh: We're in the path of the current hurricane to hit here on Sunday till Monday and I guarantee I'll have a Sheltie blanket for the whole time....already wondering how I'll get them to go out in a hurricane.... :confused2:

Callie didn't like being wet and living in AL, she experienced some tropical weather. I would try to get her to go out in between feeder bands but wasn't always successful. I had gotten a raincoat for her so put that on, put my raincoat on, got out the big umbrella and would take her out on leash in the backyard- she would eventually do what she needed. really glad that none of the shelties after her have required that level of intervention. the current shelties will go out in the rain if they have to go but will choose to wait if it's pouring and it's not necessary to go out.......

If you cut it short here it dies in August. I always laugh when I see the guy think he is making it look like a golf course. Of course unlike that course he does not furtilize it constantly and water it daily.

That is why I have an area the boys use with pea gravel. So much easier to clean up after and they come in with dry feet too. If I water my grass too much it gets a fungus that irritates Liam's paws. It's always something...:(
 
Piper is the worst one of the lot when it comes to protecting the yard! He jumps on the side gate and it rattles the hinges! I’ve blocked off their window because it only makes him worse...he runs from the side gate to the back gate if he sees they’re on the public sidewalk. Now of course he’s got Blueberry running to the gates barking as well...I call him cuckoo loco:ROFLMAO:
 
Oberon refuses to go out if it's raining. He'll just sit on the patio (covered) until we let him back in. If we take him for a walk and it starts to rain he sits down wherever we are and just waits until we get that it's time to go home. He comes and sits with me (or us) if it's thundering and lightening, and since we have 3 skylights he thinks the rain pounding on them is frightening, too. Not sure if it's that he's afraid and looking to us for protection or if he thinks he's protecting us from the scary stuff.

He would not survive in the south. We get to much rain to never go out.
