LOL - yes, the one advantage to rain is when it comes to the dogs. Ours will go out, but very begrudgingly and sometimes you have to order them off the porch a second time to get them out to the grass to do what they are there to do -- on the upside I can take even Jethro off leash and have zero concern about him deciding to be a jerk (he's a bolter when he sees anyone/anything he thinks he needs to defend his home from). Normally unless we are going out for play time I have to keep him leashed and/or I take them one at a time since both boys can make life miserable if you don't - on rainy days/nights I just open the door and send all three out -- they are on the grass, do their thing and back at the door in no time.
