Albus, my little ori-pei (a mix between shar-pei and pug), is a very silly pup. Whenever I try to take him outside in the rain, he whimpers and fights me. I will be outside the garage pulling him, and he will be inside pulling against me. It is like playing tug of war, but with his poor little neck.
This raises me to the question: Why does my dog hate the rain?
When I think about it, I hate it when my jeans or clothing gets wet. If I am wearing clothing, other than a bathing suit, and they get wet, I cannot stand to wear them. Maybe it is the same for Buce. Maybe he hates to get his fur wet.
But dogs are supposed to love water! I am pretty sure my dog is not a cat, which, if he were, it would have made more sense. Dogs swim and shake water off of their backs. While my puppy is good at shaking the water off of his back, he hasn't seemed like the type of pup that would ever swim.
I have come to the conclusion that he does not like to get his paws wet. He gets mad whenever he put his paw "accidentally" into his water bowl. Maybe he doesn't like the rain because of puddles, or walking on wet pavement. Well, I am still uncertain, because I am not a dog psychologist.
