One Cranky Little Pug!

One thing I can certainly appreciate about Simon is that he rolls with it!  Whatever "it" is...he rolls with it!  Whether it be snow, sleet, a sunny day, a rainy day, even an annoyance in our home he'll just roll with it as well. 

Yet another area where my, oops I mean, our two pugs are strikingly different.  Cody does not "roll with it".  Yesterday was a not so nice day for each of the walks.  We got hailed on during the early morning walk.  We were out too far to turn around and go home at the point of where it began to hail.  Or at least I think it was hail, my husband said it was sleet.  I'm still learning the difference.  Anyway, hail or sleet neither makes Cody a happy camper.  He turns into a cranky little dude when non perfect weather conditions exist.  Oh and you give Cody two or more days in a row of non perfect walking weather and he's near the brink!  He's so irritable he's ready to start taking names down for his bite list! 

This morning as we approached the elevator to go downstairs I could hear the rain beating down.  I knew at that point this was going to be an interesting outing!  Once we came out of the elevator and approached the glass door to go outside Cody noticed the conditions were much less than his high standards.  He immediately dug his heels into the floor and refused to get any closer to the exit door.  A tug-of-war match ensued, which I was the champ of.  Once outside he groaned, moaned, and pulled towards the door to go back inside.  The conditions were way too much to deal with so he soon got his way.  It was impossible to stay out there for the full walk. 

In the end I guess Cody got a small victory today.  He didn't have to walk in the horrible conditions of this morning.  I was very pleased to see that as the day progressed the weather improved so the early evening walk that we just finished was hovering just a little below Cody's high standards therefore he survived it without too much issue!
