Truth be told, Rogue is not a big fan of water. The only acceptable form of water is the water she slops out of her drinking bowl – otherwise, she really wants nothing to do with it. So what can she do on a rainy day?
Well, first off, she tries to stay inside as much as possible! It’s okay to watch rain, as long as there’s a window placed firmly between your nose and the rain. Other favorite rainy-day indoor activities include:
- Chasing cats – well, chasing cats is fun on any day!
- Eating – this one’s fun on any day, too, but the humans are more likely to cook interesting things on rainy days.
- Watching TV – Rogue likes Nascar and football on the weekends
And then you have the ultimate rainy day combo – playing doggy soccer with the tricky treat ball while watching TV!
Yet eventually, nature calls, and Rogue does have to go outside for a walk. When it’s raining, she either makes this exercise as short as possible, or turns it into at least a 20 minute ordeal. Obviously as quickly as possible is the best scenario for both corgi and human walking companion. But if the rain is coming down particularly hard, and she has just been forcibly led out the door, and even more embarrassingly, she has been forced to wear her yellow rain coat, she will mope down her head and muck around for 20 minutes as if to say, “Well, I’m miserable that you pulled me out here, so I’m going to make sure you’re soaked through as well!”
Adorable, self entertained corgi!
ReplyDeleteHey, your corgi rugs are nice too.
Our male pem hates to have wet feet. He sticks his bumm way out, and feet are on the sidewalk. Or he'll walk the landscape timber to get to the mulch. Our female has no problem going out in the wet. If it thunders, or if the wind blows, she shoots straight for the back door.
We can tune into being averse to thunder - Rogue heard some rumbling off in the distance this evening and started trucking right back toward home!
