Seeing rain and hearing rain can be comforting.
Walking the dog in the rain, not so much.
Yes, especially during a drought when there have been brushfires nearby recently.
But I understand how walking a dog in the rain might not be fun. A friend of mine’s dog hates walking in the rain. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 was no fun for her. It rained for several days and Ripley (the dog) was not a happy camper.
