I Could Melt in the Rain!
It’s been raining all day today, and it rained most of yesterday, and it’s gonna rain again tomorrow. At least so the weather-guesser says. And so does the Mum. When it rains even if the Mum goes outside and calls us we say No Way and all stand in the doorway in the same spot.
Before I came to live here when I lived in Houston, I thought the rain was okay.. and when I came to live here in my bestest foreverhome I’d go outside and play and run in the rain.. but Lucy, Levi, Angel and Chase would look at me funny so one day I asked them, why do you look at me funny when I’m out in the rain?
They all said well, don’t you know that collies and border collies melt in the rain?
I said WHAT?! I didn’t know! I never have felt melty before but I didnt’ want to risk it anymore and so now I stay indoors whenever it’s raining outside. And then when Muffit came to live with us I asked him one day, ’cause he came from someplace else, if collies and border collies melt in the rain, and he said yep, we do!
Glitter and Chip may not melt in the rain… they are shelties and they run right out and potty even when it’s raining hard. And I haven’t seen any sign of them melting at all. So I guess it’s just collies and border collies that melt in the rain and shelties don’t.
The Mum says that Glitter and Chip are just more polite to go out in the rain and potty and that their Mum is better at teaching them potty than she is… but I dunny. Maybe some of my sheltie blogging friends will come and tell me, do shelties melt in the rain?

Hi I'm Tatum and welcome to my blog! I'm a smooth sable collie, the prettiest kind! The Mum said a blog would be a fun thing for me to do, I can tell everyone how I'm gonna learn some things called agility, and obedience, and flyball.. and go on walks and play in the park and bark at the TV and lots of fun stuff!
Tatum!
That picture of all of you guys inside the door is just too funny! I don’t like the rain either. It’s been raining non-stop for almost 2 weeks at my house… Today is the first sunny day we’ve had in ages, but it’s supposed to rain again tomorrow…
I don’t think I’ve ever melted in the rain before…

Hmm…I don’t know about that. I better check with LS. She doesn’t let me out in the rain though. Does that mean I might melt too?

What ya gotta do is run hard and get really, really muddy, so that big goobers are hanging off your belly and tail fur, and you have to get lots of mud all the way up your legs, and between your toes. Dig a hole if you have to, and lay in it. That stops the melting.

Collies must only melt in cold rain, because we love being out in the warm rain here in the Keys. Maybe Rough Collies that stay out in the rain to much become smooth collies? What do you think?

We love the door picture – too cute! We rats also are not a fan of rain or getting wet period. We enjoyed reading your blog (as our mom would love to have a dog) and thank you for stopping by our blog!
My paws shrivel up on muddy ground. I refuse to leave the deck. I wouldn’t chance it, esp. if you’re a collie.
love & wags,

Well Tatum, I do believe that I read somewhere that Collies can melt in the rain. But just certain Collies. Probably not your kind though. But if you are still worried, then maybe your mum can get you a cute rain slicker and booties to wear. I bet you would be just precious!

What does melty feel like. When i go out in the rain my fur goes all puffed up then I have to have the horrible towel on me. Is that melty?
YES !!!!!!!! Shelties melt in the rain…..that is why I don’t like water…..lakes and puddles melt the feet!
I don’t know about Shelties but I can tell you that pit bulls and black labs melt in the rain. It’s not a pretty sight!!
