Do you have all-weather dogs?

Are you kidding? HA! Zeus and Voodoo don't do rain. Voodoo gives you miserable looks, but he'll endure it. But Zeus is a big baby about it. One time, my sis was walking him and got caught in a light drizzle about 1/2-mile from our house. Zeus sat down, refused to move, and started crying and whining like he was going to die. My Hubby had to go pick them up in the car.

Yeah, my dogs don't really do rain. Conrad will at least run out and pee when it's raining but Marlowe won't even do that. He'll stand by the door under the awning.
The snow Conrad absolutely loves, it actually kind of makes him a little crazy-pants. Marlowe doesn't mind snow but he gets chilly and starts to shiver and give me pathetic looks after too long.
Marlowe is fairly impervious to heat (light coat) but Conrad wilts pretty quickly (heavy coat, big dog).

Yep. Sometimes he decides he doesn't want to be out in the rain, but for the most part he's a happy camper. ALL kinds of weather, though since he's black, eat and sunlight don't really agree with him. Recently he spent 6 hours out on the back porch and the yard in a windstorm because he was enjoying the wind and occasional patters of rain so much... he didn't want to come in. 
When it started getting dark I dragged him inside against his will, but he had his nose glued to the window until I closed the curtains.
Freak.

Besides snow, since we don't get any, Dixie could care less. She whines to go out when it's pouring down rain so she can splash in the puddles. When it's raining, Bear would rather go out, do his thing and come right back in. He doesn't mind the weather if he has to pee, but won't stay out any longer than he has too. I haven't found anything yet that phases Dixie.
Spanky and Bandit go out regardless of the weather. Blizzards don't stop them nor does the heat though I will if the weather is dangerously crazy. It's fun to have dogs like that.
Miley can't handle the cold. She tries to but she can't. She wants to coem out on the walks so bad but half the time she gets left behind. Poor little tyke.

Gempress I love that story about Zeus, poor baby.
Zoey is a fiend for heat. 100+ degrees and she's laying out in the sun. I have to force her inside so she wont cook. The other dogs tolerate it.
Copper and Tara love snow and are ok in the rain. Once it drops below 60 you'll never see Zoey outside. And Jewels dislikes water

Mushroom is made of sugar and will melt in rain. He's pretty sure. He also doesn't like snow to touch his delicate footsies.
Harv doesn't really care.
Luce likes snow, but not rain. She gets cold easily, so she has to wear a coat, but she loves to run in the snow, eat the snow, catch snow balls, etc.

Oh my, Joey is the biggest wuss when it comes to weather. Granted, he's got a pretty good excuse in the cold. That huge scar on his back probably gets pretty chilly. He's also pretty pitiful in the rain.
Roxie is pretty good in all weather, except when it's very hot and sunny. She pants more than Joey on hot sunny days. Maybe its her coat color.
