What's A Mother To Do?

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Well, Sophie and I are supposed to be at the hospital today between 12:30 and 1:00 for our weekly Therapy Visit. We have missed the last two weeks because of a Cold, and an out of town trip, so did not want to miss today.  Here's the problem, it is raining.  To say that it is pouring would be an understatement. 

 

So, I'm trying to figure out how to get Sophie in the door of the hospital without her being soaked.   I can carry her if it has stopped raining so as not to get her feet and belly wet, but I can't carry an umbrella and Sophie if it is still pouring.  According to Delta rules I'm not to hand her off to anyone else in the facility, so that I could pull up and drop her off and go park.  She has to remain under my control at all times.  Plus she then wouldn't get to potty right before going in.  So, I thought well she does have her rain coat, she hates it, but let's see if I can get her to wear it.  I put it on her about an hour ago and if looks could kill ... well let's just say I then wouldn't have a problem.  She has not moved from her spot since I put it on her.  She won't come for a treat, she won't come for the door bell, nothing.  She will not move.  Think I'm just going to have to grab the blow dryer and head out a little earlier than normal.  Rain Rain, Go Away!

Glad the weather cooperated! I think we are going to have to make Sophie an officer of the NDC!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Yes, just don't make her the "Secretary".  That's such a "girl thing".  LOL

Glad it worked out so perfectly!!  Thanks to you and Sophie for being willing to brave the elements to bring some joy to our Vets!!

Sophie you looks so stylish in your rain gear.....you should go out and show it off!      So cute.....hope the rains stop for you soon!

Poor Sophie and you. I do think the rule is silly if you have a responsible person at the site who could hold Sophie for a minute.

This picture is so cute. I can relate to the behaviour.Sadie is like this try to put on a coat or boots and she just stays put.She has been like this since she was a tiny puppy and she is now five and 80 pounds.We live in Calgary where it can get very cold but she prefers to run around au naturel and never seems to be cold. Go Figure.

that is just too funny.  She may not be happy but at least she looks cute!

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

maybe what she's missing are little red rain boots. She's sooo cute!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

we put boots on her in Petsmart one day.  It was too funny.  It was like she was walking in quick sand or something the way she was walking and lifting her feet up!  It was like she was walking and trying to shake them off at the same time.

I do think that it was just meant to work out so Sophie could work her magic for the patients. Sometimes we just have to trust that where theres a will there's a way. SO glad it worked out, but I did like your plan B with the blowdryer!
