So I don't know about everyone else but it has been raining constantly all day here and no sign off letting up soon. Not much fun with 2 dobes in the house...Dante is a prince and hates going out in the rain unless it is absolutely necessary.. So I am just wondering what everyone does with their dogs on days like these ?? Dante and Kazi did some scent classes this year so we play hide and seek with their toys...It also gives me an opportunity to put them in a sit stay while I go through the house and hide their ball somewhere...When I return to them I stand at their side and then send them off to find the toy....They both love this game...but would love some suggestions on other games to play... K.

Ronin hates the rain...we actually have to chase him outside to go potty, God forbid he gets wet! He even has the dog door, no excues! We keep Ronin busy with the ball and when it's time, he got his raw hide bone to chew at...instead of me

Man these dogs certainly are cut from the same cloth... Reyna HATES the rain. When I take her outside for a pee she runs for shelter in a little nook at the side of the building while I stand in the pouring rain waiting for her majesty to decide IF she really has to go after all... I found that when it's cold and rainy I put her coat and ear muff on and that helps a bit. Little Princess... When it's rainy sometimes I give her a raw marrow bone to chomp on, which keeps her busy for a good hour or so. I'll also pull ALL her stuffies and toys out and scatter them around the house (Mark LOVES that LOL!)... then she proceeds to try and gather them together or takes turns picking them up, trotting around, shaking them, and bringing them to her bed.

Rainy day......Zeus goes for a ride with me in the truck on dealer visits as long as he's in the truck he's happy. If I'm in there with him and we are driving along he's won Lotto 649. If Rush is playing as we drive along, then he won Lotto 649 and Encore!!!

We all seem to be on the same boat. Diesel hates rain. When I open the sliding doors to my backyard, he'll poke his gigantic head and sniffs...and if its raining...you can bet your azz he ain't going out. He'll only go out if he needs to do his biz and that usually takes about 30 mins to 1 hr before he actually goes out. If it's drizzling, its not so bad...as long as I go outside with him (ie walk) he'll come out but if its harder than that...nope...he'll act like a princess and won't wanna get his pedicured paws wet. I go with Andreina on this one...bully sticks or his orange hockey ball and a stuffie to suck on

Congrats Gary!! That's awesome, can't wait to see Zeus' new "crate" sunday... Caesers crate doesn't look too shabby either What's with these dobes getting to have their own trucks...? They are SOO hard done by right? lol.... Julian just bought a 99 Dodge Dakota.... It's older but its an awesome shiny blue colour, in great condition, and drives good. Scar loves having the back to herself, well the front seat when I am not there.

Actually Mike I'm a Chevy guy 100%. My job comes with a vehicle as I manage a territory and drive for business and the last 2 vehicles the policy was changed to Dodge in 2008. Previous to that any time I had a choice it was a Chevy I had 5-6 Chev's prior to the last Dodge and some Ford stuff way back prior to that.
This seems like a pretty nice truck, rides way nicer than the 2008 Mega Cab. I know someone was just going nuts to get in and try it out. Pictures will follow! He was pretty content once inside and we went for a ride. Zeus got a ride even before my wife!
I've had previous dobermans that liked the truck but none as much as this Zeus. I think if he could, he would be in the truck 24/7.
