It's been hot this summer in Auckland. It reached 32.4C at Whenuapai Air Base, Auckland on Wednesday and it was declared by MetService that it was the hottest day in the last 137 years. It had not only been hot but also very dry ... until Thursday (two days ago). Today we are having the first decent rain in the last several weeks.
Although I welcome this rain as the soil had been too dry for trees and plants, it becomes an issue when it comes to dogs' walking and toileting. Cookie and Cinnamon wouldn't mind getting wet much, but I do mind it. If it were only Cookie, I could just open the door and let him out to quickly do his business. But, I cannot do that with Cinnamon at the moment, as I am still concerned about her health and don't want to let her off the lead.
So, today I had them wear their raincoats, wore mine myself, and took them out for a short walk. I don't remember when I last used those raincoats in summer, although I use them regularly in winter.
Actually Cookie loves wearing clothes. He has two raincoats and five tee shirts.
