Sure, the ‘trievers think you’re nuts and Ms. Kyrie is missing a lot of good rain and mud, but Drew wants to come live with you.

There *is* a bona-fide pragmatic angle: a dry dog smells better than a wet one.

You forget, Christie: I ALSO share my life with Drew, who is utterly beautiful and DOES have a raincoat.

Addy says: “Herding dogs. *sniff* They probably like mud, too.”

Okay, Christie, all of these readers are telling you that’s okay to put a raincoat on your dog….and I suppose for a gorgeous girl Borzoi, it’s fine…sigh….

My Aussies and I went out to play in the rain! Of course, we didn’t get nearly as much as you did, but we went sans raincoat, sans booties, and sans any other protective gear! We got wet and we loved it! smile….

I been thinkin’ bout dying my hair black to match my two black cats. Just thinkin’, but not actually doin’.

My cats shun the rain, and of course, they feel the kitty litter box is fine, thank you.

Oh, please don’t think that it somehow makes you into a primpy, prissy, silly chick to pamper a dog a bit. (I hope you don’t consider the excellent care, food, and lodging as special pampering, as all your dogs got them, even the ‘scruffy’ deerhounds.)

I mean, really, Borzois ARE the gorgeous supermodels of the dog world (even when they’re killing coyotes), and when you’ve put the effort into making her look fit for Anne Leibowitz to photograph, shoving her out to npotty in a downpour just makes no practical sense. Consider that you were being incredibly rational in timing her outings, and that we all need to have beaty in our lives, which she provides so well!

Well, who wouldn’t want to avoid messing up the hair? It’s a lot of work to get it to look good.

I wish I could talk my hairdresser into coloring my hair like Harper’s chestnut.

Oh, Lis. Because those are just excuses. I didn’t want to mess up her hair, LOL!

Christie. Please tell me that you are not suggesting that messing up a girl’s hair is not important just because she’s of the canine persuasion!

Please. Say you don’t mean that. :)
