Ever NOT Gone Out With The Dog(s)?
12 Answers
Phewwwwwww!!!!!! Just come back with the dogs and it's absolutely persisting it down and blowing a gale out there! I only got marginally less wet and bedraggled than my mutts, and was thinking to myself on the way round the fields:
"I must be completely off my trolley when I could be sitting at home in the warm on such a gopping day!"
C'mon, then - hands up any of you brave/honest/foolish enough to admit that you've skivved off because it was too cold, wet or whatever!!!!!!

Yes - I live on my own and have no garden. I had the flu and getting as far as the bathroom was an ordeal. I felt as if I was dying.
Robbie was a Lab/GSD and I didn't take him out from one night walk for another 24 hours. I can't even remember feeding him. He just lay and slept with me the whole time.
When I did manage to take him out it took me 90 minutes to get dressed - I kept toppling over. He was patient all throughout this time. His bladder must have been ready to explode by this time.
I want another dog - but not until I can afford to buy a house with a garden. That will never happen.
Cats are easier to look after when you are ill.

Paraffin, I did skive off tonight, which is really bad I know.
I struggle to walk my 2 dogs together anyway, and didnt want to take one out and leave the other at home as it is not fair and one of them always gets upset.
As the place I walk them in is the park behind my house with woods, lake and so on, it isn't the safest of places to walk at the best of times, let alone when it is dark so I wouldnt have risked walkng one and then the other.
I'm only ickle anyway, and if anything did happen my dogs are far too soft to protect me lol!
And as I have been typing this, the glass panel has blown out the back door! Hmm!

I have been a good girl today, had my two out but must admit it was a short cut walk instead of the long.My two oldies don't like the wind or the rain but needs must they dont hold their pee as younger dogs, so it's for our sake that they get a walk twice a day,it will be the garden for the late turn out tonight i'm afraid.
Yes, they did go out today but sometimes in bad weather I give it a miss. At 15.30 they start prancing about and if we're not out by 16.00 it's filthy looks all round!! I do have a garden that they have access to all day but the romp through the woods is the highlight of their day. BTW, I'm talking about 2 old Border Collie ladies who will be 14 in June. Hope yours are warm and dry now!!
Some days I don't take mine out, but that's their choice ... one is vrey eldery and sometimes refuses to budge... .the other is a wimp and only gets to the edge of the carport on blustery days before taking root ...... what dogs to I have? Tiny little toy ones, chinese crested bald ones........? NO!! Staffordshire Bull Terriers!!! Who live their lives wrapped in cotton wool and blankets ... .and milk it every day bless them!!!
I braved the sleet and hail this afternoon, my dog Ollie will go for a walk on the lead in any weather, and only at his pace...............slowly! he's so strange, if it's at all wet he will not go out into the garden unless he's absolutely desperate! It's freezing tonight, so it's the garden or nothing for him I'm afraid!
There seem to be a few on here swinging the lead(as in "shed", not as in "seed"!) However, some of the "culprits" appear to be of the four legged variety! My two collies expect to go no matter what the weather's doing, so muggins can't skive off at all!
Mind you, we once had a rescue greyhound and she would not step a paw outside unless tropical temperatures were prevailing!
Having tried to get into bed with us whilst on a caravan holiday just after we got her told us that her tolerance to cold was non existent, as was her pain tolerance! Tread on her toes and it was a squealing match loud enough to waken the dead and make us feel "dead" guilty!
