    We went out for our morning ablutions after waking up (at 7:20am - woohoo!!! After taking herself to bed at 10:30pm, this is amazing!). Willow did her normal mooch around while I sat on a low bench by the door that used to have flower pots on it. Any guesses as to why there's no pots there now? ;)

    Two minutes later, there was a massive gust of wind. Two seconds after that, I had a labrador puppy in my lap. What a wimp :)

    Woohoo! Another full night. Well done Willow.

    On our walk we were close to a cockerel who was chirping very loudly. Couldn't see it just could hear it. Rolo was such a wimp, whining and moaning running behind my legs. I kept telling him to man up. Bless em.

    Haha, poor Rolo!

    Willow also chickened out of going out in the rain earlier. Granted, it was bucketing down, but I figured she needs to learn, so I was out there making silly noises and running around like a lunatic. She chased me a little but then went and sat on the bench out of the wet. If any neighbours saw me, they'd have been calling the asylum. :D

    Cooper (8 months tomorrow) will not go out and potty when it is raining! Guess they like to jump INTO the water but not have water drop on them! I have to coax and get wet myself and, as you say, run around and clap and whistle like a mad woman to get him to go! I am wondering what is going to happen when it snows.
    I get a lot of snow here! Guess I wouldn't want to go to the bathroom if it was raining on me, either. But they dont really have a choice, do they?????

    We get a lot of snow here, too - we live in a ski resort! It's due to snow tomorrow and Wednesday. It will be Willow's first experience of it. I'm hoping the wind drops because then it will be fun.

    I had to resort to putting a puppy pad outside earlier on in order to coax her to go for a wee. I guess it's all part of the training, and going back to basics when things change.

    I have to put on a raincoat, grab an umbrella, and pull the dogs out on a leash to get them to potty in the rain! Absurd... I actually think snow will be better - I'd rather walk in the snow than in the rain! :D

    We have the beginnings of snow today. It's wet and sticky and not too unlike rain. Willow was not impressed.
