Don't Rain on my Parade

Chima and Salinas hate when it rains. In fact Chima gets quite dramatic about it which is out of character. Typically the biggest reaction you see out of her (unless she sees a rodent) is a head tilt. But Lizzy is another story. While I can't say that rain is her favorite kind of weather she doesn't let it slow her down one bit.

She still tears around the yard full speed doing zoomies, skidding in the mud as she takes a tight corner. She still throws herself into shrubs that she sees a bird go into, and she still digs around in the dirt under the bird feeder looking for stray sunflower seeds the birds have missed. 


Extra spots on that belly


The result is a mud splattered girl who ends up getting rinsed off in the tub multiple times a day when it rains. And when it comes to tub time Lizzy will agree with Chima that there isn't much worse than a bath.

Wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog...started following a few weeks ago but haven't left comments yet. And really appreciated your 4-part series on fearful dogs - it's been such a great reminder in helping our Stanley adjust to things.

Glad you are enjoying it! And happy that it can help Stanley too! It can be a slow process but fearful dogs can be helped to change their emotional response to things.
