2 of the 3 dogs i have dont like the rain, the other could care less. And yea, pugs are ... well they are pugs. I am glad i have a fenced in yard. I dont have to get wet with them when they go out. The best part about our pug is the snow. When it snows, it gets deep here, usually enough to burry the pug. So when its like that, i pick up the pug, walk into the back yard, and toss her into the snow. at that point she doesnt care. But it takes one trip out for the poodle to pack down the snow and then the pug goes out without a problem.
