Puppies and Storms

For days now, the rain has continued.  I have enjoyed lounging around in my comfortable clothing getting all cozy.  If you don't know, I am in Arizona where it hardly ever rains.  However, puppies and rain do not mix.  Puppy says, "Mommy, take me outside to pee."  So Mommy takes puppy down the stairs and puts puppy on porch to relieve himself.  However the wind, the rain and the thunder makes the puppy just sit, cower and shake. Well, where else is he going to pee?  He isn't potty trained to pee in the toilet like Jinxy and we don't have a litter box so puppy gets soaked while I wait for him to do his business.

Now what happens if I give up and bring him in because I feel bad that it is cold and wet outside?  I'll be cleaning up my own floors until the rain stops.  So puppy has to suffer.  But instead it is I who suffers.

The ritual continues.  Mommy take me out to pee.  Puppy wants to come in because he can't handle the cold and wet so I let him in and put him in his kennel.  Then he tells me Mommy take me out to pee. So it's back outside (up and down the stairs).  At this point it's number four times where I think I spotted that he peed finally.  But what about my welfare. 

Rain, rain, go away.  But come back when puppy is older and not such a little whimp.
