Every week I walk three dogs and they are a joy to be around. Usually I go to their house and they are waiting eagerly to be harnessed and walked, but today their owner had them leashed up and ready and waiting outside in their driveway. It really made my morning when I stepped out of my truck and saw their faces light up when they recognized me. It was too cute.
Here are the 3 Amigos
Nikky, Wrigley and Sable

Actually I don’t mind the rain, that is one of the things people must deal with, when living in Oregon or Washington. However, not so much fun when your walking dogs. Not only do I get wet, but the poor dogs get soaked. Some have coats, others don’t care, they are out just to have fun on their walk. Its after the walk that the wet starts sinking in.
It is one of the things clients should think about when out in the rain with their dogs. Purchasing a raincoat or letting them walk ala’ natural. I do both when walking my dogs. Since I have six dogs, it takes a few minutes to get all their gear on. They are so excited that its hard trying to put a rain coat on jumping, wildly happy four-legged banshee’s (that is what I refer to mine as). Usually I will wait until the rain has slacked off and there is but a slight mist or trickle.
Today looks like one of those days that I will sit in wait and just when I think its safe, I will leash them all up and off we will go.
For those that are walking their dogs in this weather..happy rainy walking!

I am very excited to look out the window this morning and see yet another day of sun. Feels great.
Its also great day to take your dogs out for a stroll. Just remember that even though its not in the high 80′s that dogs can still get over heated, so take plenty of water with you. If you have a white dog, like I do, remember to use dog safe sunscreen so they do burn. Yes, dogs can get sunburns just like humans.
Have a great Sunday from the House of Pawz (HoP)
