That will teach me !!

Having just blogged about the small sod dog - saying what a brave, courageous, and dumb! sort of dog he is - It was raining this morning. He woke up at his usual time of 0530 ish and began his morning "I wan't to go out chorus" - interspersed with "I WILL PEE ON THE FLOOR IF YOU DON'T GET UP AND LET ME OUT RIGHT NOW", whines and very sharp barks. Groans from the other side of the bed (She who must be obeyed will NOT get up and take him out in the morning !) Staggered down stairs in dressing gown - meaning to just take him out to the end of the drive for a pee - pulled curtain from across door and = lo and behold its either persistently raining or hissing down (to quote another euphemism!) - harnessed him up and opened front door - he peers out and digs feet in "IM NOT GOING OUT THERE - ITS RAINING" You are a brave and stupid Border Terrier -all the other ones I've ever seen delight in getting wet and muddy - says I - NOT GOING says he ! Listen small sod dog - I'm in my dressing gown and I am going out - look - end up dragging him out of door - he hugs side of house and pees quickly, turns round and paws at front door - THE BLEEDIN DOG'S A WIMP !
After a quick towelling down he regains normal humour and sits in front of the Patio doors watching the birds on the feeders and jumping up and swearing at them. - Opened door and he shot out in the rain ! Too interested in chasing birds round patio to realise it's still raining. Birds fly off (as they do) and the little light bulb appears above his head "DING" looks up - gets rain on face and obviously thinks - "This ain't too bad" and nonchalantly strolls back in ! However he did not really want to go out for his morning walk after brekkies - So still not sure ??
cheers
