then rush me at the door to jump on a couch when he was tired of rolling in the mud. Gawd he was SO messy and absolutely adored water, rain, snow, and especially swimming holes or pools! (But I still loved him more than any dog I've ever had in spite of that!)

My little Kali HATED water, mud, and snow so never did that. In fact, she wouldn't even go outside to pee if it was raining and would hold it until ready to burst, then would only go on the covered front porch to avoid as much of the water as possible. Ewww cleaning it up. Thankfully, she was too polite to do her business in the house, at least until she was very old and couldn't help it.

My Jake, Jody, and Elly were all normal dogs who neither loved nor hated the rain. I prefer the "normal" ones over fretting over the weather. **chuckle**
