"Maybe we can dodge the showers" I said to Buster and Rufus
"Really" they replied, "we don't do rain".
It was very light rain and very mild, I wanted to get out for some exercise and fresh air.
We didn't get very far. After only about half an hour this happened.
They both stopped, refusing to move another step. Now and again Rufus does this even if the weather is good but he soon catches up, but Buster never stops, so when he did I knew it was mutiny.
"What do you think Buster? I'm fed up with walking in this miserable rain, even if it is light rain"
"Me too" said Buster, "I want to go home".
We came home.
They have spoken, indeed! I don’t mind a little drizzle, but once my glasses get wet, I have to head home, too.
ReplyDeleteMy eyesight has changed now but I used to wear glasses all the time and yes, rain was a problem.
DeleteSmart dogs! I'm with them.
ReplyDeleteThey are, they let me know what they want.
Deletei can’t blame them. Rain doesn’t look great on a fur coat.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't Marie, they have looked so bedraggled at times!
DeleteGood for them, I don't do rain either lol!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually but it was very fine, my trousers didn't even get wet!
DeleteSmart dogs indeed. Chutki does this often irrespective of what weather when she simply wants to return home to sleep. Koko is the exact opposite. Despite being blind, she wants to stay out all the time and resents coming back home.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Chutki and Koko are your pet dogs?
DeleteI would have thought they'd be so grateful for a good long walk that a bit of light rain wouldn't put them off. What a couple of snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteha, ha they are related to greyhounds, notorious couch potatoes, it's in their DNA!
DeleteI'm with Rufus and Buster and would also have elected to return home having been caught walking in the unexpected rain more than once and without an umbrella or hat.
ReplyDeleteWe have been caught in fierce rain a few times.
DeleteSometimes you just learn who is boss!
ReplyDeleteRufus particularly knows just how much he can get away with!
