The Bagel and I don't get much rain here in the desert but he loves to go exploring in the rain and I don't mind it either. I remember one time we were up in the Northeast corner of Utah and just as we crossed the line into Colorado, lightning struck about 30 feet from the car, the Bagel took that as an invitation to go sniff and as soon as i could find a place to pull off the road and the immediate threat of lightning had passed, we went for a wet adventure! The desert smells so great when it rains and I truely believe, the best odor in the world is sagebrush after a good rain.

Boeing is just so handsome! Re beagles not liking rain -- Maggie loves it! I think I've related before that, during one particularly harsh hurricane, Maggie really had to go pee. I stood in the garage and told her to go out -- she happily did. I was actually afraid she would get blown away /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif but she had a ball. I think she likes the rub down that comes after the rain. Maggie also loves to swim -- I wish I had close access to a pool as I think the water therapy would do her good.

Boeing, at least you rest when it's raining. We've had thunderstorms this afternoon, and Misty gets really nervous, and paces, shakes, etc. :eyes: That doesn't keep Li'l Girl from snoozing, but it's stressful for me. :hi:
