I should have known it was totally too good to be true.
I mean, since I got beck from BlogPaws in Vegas, the weather has been pretty woofing good. A bit of light rain here and there, but nothing like the torrential downpours we get all winter. It’s been so nice out that apparently, I’ve lost my umbrella. WHOMP WHOMP. Not exactly what you want to discover when your dog is whining to go out and the skies are unleashing enough water that it’s time to think about building an Ark.
I started searching the big wide interwebz for a replacement umbrella, preferably one with a doggy twist.
I was so excited when I found this tutorial on how to make a Design It Yourself Umbrella over at Paper, Plate and Plane and I am in love with the “raining cats and dogs” design that she shared!

26 May, 2014 at 11:01 AMI hear ya! Even with TWO it’s hard. I usually use my handsfree cross body leash connector thing when it rains and then hook their biothane leashes to that..or if I’m not going anywhere after the walk (like work) then I just get wet. LOL

26 May, 2014 at 12:31 PMIf mom used cross body leashes on us, the only thing she would need would be an ambulance or a hearse! 160 lbs of dog that sees something and Mom is sorry out of luck 😉
