The most important rule of dog-walking in Oregon
Bring your rain coat.
Even if you don’t think you’ll need it.
Basically from Mid-September thru May.
I took Koko out recently on one of those the-weather-can’t-make-up-its-mind days and I left the coat at home. Big mistake.
We walked out and looked left – beautiful!
Then looked right – not so beautiful.
The clouds looked a little ominous but I figured we’d beat the rain before it moved in. Basically I was too lazy to walk back up to the apartment for a jacket “just in case”. And two seconds later the sprinkling started.
We made it almost all the way around our loop before it started to sprinkle harder.
And then a little harder, going from the sprinkle category to full on rain.
And a little harder (I wish that was a UFO and not a “something” on my phone lens!).
And then we moved from the rain category to a full on downpour / dumping / drenching.
Koko didn’t seem to mind though, she just shook it off and kept going.
Weather: 1 Sarah: 0
Lesson learned.

the joys of living in the pacific northwest! our lab loves the wet weather, our boston terrier not so much. i would prefer it be dry and colder any day of the week!

No kidding, especially today, I think even the natives were carrying umbrealls, haha! I like dry and cold too, bundling up in the crisp weather, I think that’s one of my favorite parts about Fall.
