Reason dogs don't like the rain
I never knew this, but I read (doesn't mean it's true so correct me if it's wrong) that the reason dogs don't like the rain is not because of the rain itself but because the rain amplifys sounds so it makes their ears too sensitive! Misty hates the rain but is slowly getting to like a little paddle in the lake so I don't think she hates water so this theory sounds right for her. It's been raining all day here, hubby took her out this morning to the field when it was sunny, and they got caught in a downpour. He said she wasn't impressed and blamed him for the rain, ha ha at least I'm not the one getting the blame for once!

Mia hates the rain even a drizzle tolerates a bath though it does get warm in the rain too this could be a factor too

Re: Reason dogs don't like the rain
It probably doesn't feel great on their fur, either.
Gizmo keeps going to the back door, looking at the rain and then giving the world's most dramatic sigh, before giving us both the stinkeye and skulking off to chew something.
