We’ve had a lot of rain lately, and poor Beau doesn’t understand why he can’t go out and play in the rain and the mud. From what we know of his background and what we saw at the foster home, Beau has probably always been an outside dog. He was outside in a kennel with other dogs at the foster home, and so he is accustomed to being out in the rain and weather.
I want Beau to be a part of our family, and my pet, and so I want for him to be like our last dog, who stayed inside (albeit, in the kitchen, on the tile floor) for the majority of the time. Beau has taken to this change pretty well, overall. He’s learning his boundaries and that he can’t come on the carpet. He tolerates us wiping his feet with a towel every time he goes out and comes back inside the kitchen. But, a lot of the time, I think he doesn’t really get it, and just wants to go back out and be an outside dog. Especially when it’s raining and muddy, like it has been a lot lately.
Here’s a couple of pictures I took of Beau earlier in the week, when it was raining or still muddy in the backyard. He was, of course, inside the kitchen with me, but he really looked like he wanted to go outside!
So, after it stopped raining, I opened a window so he could smell things outside. I think he likes it when I do that, but I also think it tortures him too, smelling everything and being stuck inside:
what is it with pups & water/mud? =)
I feel your pain. Vader loves the water once he gets used to the rain. It’s rained so little here lately that he has to get used to it again when he sees it. But, he really misses his outside playtime and walks & he hates his paws being dryed. He tries to run off and hide before you can get to them.
Awww he’s such a cutie. For some reason some dogs just looove to be muddy. Then again they aren’t the ones cleaning the floors either..haha 🙂
We have the opposite, a dog that will not go out side if it’s cold or rainning, and with all the rain we’ve had it’s like pulling teeth to get her to go outside.
Good pics!
Oh, those are cute photos. He does seem to be daydreaming about something.
I gave my dog, Bruno a bath earlier. He really enjoys taking a bath because he loves water.
It rained this afternoon so I wasn’t able to walk him around the village. Maybe later in the evening, I can take him for a short walk.
Awww, my Poopaloop does the same thing. He so wants out but then the moment I open the door, he goes out, water hits his head, he does the rapid fire blinking like “what….is…..that?” and runs back in.
He is not the brightest.
