We've had one of those dreary Saturdays - it has rained ALL DAY! I think we have gotten about 2 inches today, and it may actually turn into snow later tonight! After a few obligatory trips to the grocery store - and Petco for dog food, of course, we have all hunkered down to watch movies - all but Tyke that is!
She LOVES this weather! She has been out four or five times, just to run around the backyard in the rain! Of course, then she gets in touch with her "poodle side" because we get the blow dryer out for her. She loves the hair dryer! All in all, a good day for a water loving doodle! And, she might get to see some snow after all!

I guess I will have to learn to deal with rain instead of snow. I am amazed that Tyke loves the hair dryer and that she actually wants to go out in the rain. Well poodles do have webbed feet :wink:

Hope you get to see some snow ! - make sure you get some pics of Tyke if you do

storm ended up going south and east of us, so GA,SC and NC got our snow :evil:

Annabelle loves to go out in the rain, but dislikes a bath :roll: , she also will sit there and let me dry her with hair dryer

We had snow all morning and then it quickly turned
to rain so for us it is back to the mud mess....................

Right now all our mud is frozen solid!

I was surprised myself at Tyke's love for the hairdryer - I'll have to get Mom to take a picture - Tyke literally stands up in my lap with her head on my shoulder, and she just MELTS! She doesn't like it around her head or her ears, however, so I have to make sure to use my hands to shield her ears! Not like she is spoiled, or anything!
Mary, the snow came so close to you all! My sister in Charlotte called and said they had beautiful snowflakes coming down, but as of about 5 PM, it wasn't sticking to anything, but her giant cockapoo (who we think is really a doodle) Shoney! He came in with little snowballs all over him!!
Gene - hope your mud turns into something a little more fun for you and the doodles soon!

The hair dryer...wow! I haven't tried it on Bogart yet, but when I use it he looks at me like he's ready to RUN if I get too close to him..lol

Man if we had your rain we'd have a foot of snow........it's sooooo dang cooooold here!! I'm not sure what I'd rather have!
Gene.........frozen puddles and frozen everything! Tooooo much!! But I'd rather have the frozen puddles then puddly puddles...lol

Linda, try it on LOW first - doesn't make so much noise! And I guess their heads and ears must be a little sensitive. Our groomer told me she had to hand dry Tyke's head and ears - she didnt' like it anywhere around her face or ears! Otherwise, it must just be pure bliss!

Linda - I would expose Bogie to the dryer as soon as you can. When they're young, they tend to take to things better. Maybe try it on low (as was suggested) and give him some treats while you move it near him. Dexter never really minded it at all, but Kirby is fearful when you bring it near him (much like the vacuum).

Dakota LOVES the blow dryer!! In fact her loves grooming, period. every morning--at least on work mornings when I get up super early, he lies down and waits for me to give him a full body brush. He's even getting ok with combing his mustache and beard but HATES his lower legs combed!

Go for it Tyke--love that rain!!!!

 

[MaxandMe]

NONE of my doodles like a blow dryer near their ears/face
so like LINDA i put it on low and shield their ears

during the summer Peanut will sit in front of a floor fan and dry herself after a bath hahhahaa it's hystercial she turns one way ,,, 10min later shifts the other way
