years ago—we rescued a cat (whose homeless owner, died in a fire to keep them both warm) she constantly meowed at the door. during a snow storm-i opened the door and showed her (we named her Aida) the snow. like fred she stood there-looked at the snow, turned aroud and meowed happily into the kitchen. she never asked to go outside ever again.
Had a greyhound, Katie Bell, who would insist on a walk. If the rain didn’t stop by the time we reached the pole barn, she’d look at me as though her god had failed her, and head back to the house. My current greyhound and Amalgamated Pot Hound, do not care, walk time is walk time.
My cat when I was growing up would head to the door to go out at the first snow of the year. My Mom would open the door and Kitty (full name Estralita) would stop dead and basically refuse to go out.
Any reader who has ever been a "dog’s best friend" will recognize and love Fred. Fred is a wry and witty observer of life, finding funnybones and turning up smiles on three continents.

My dachshund puts his nose out and then does a high-speed reverse if the weather is like that.

@batterd_citizen So Aida made a Triumphal March back to the warmth of the house?

Yeah, it’s not a good day to go out today, Fred. Just do your business quickly and get back in.

C’mon Fred, where is your spirit of adventure…

Fred’s spirit can get into plenty of adventures indoors. The outdoors can wait for a sunny day. ;)

Days like that any pet should feel especially grateful for their nice warm home.

Two of mine are like that – sometimes the other two as well.

Had a Labrador and if she poked her head out and a raindrop hit her nose, she would go back inside.

If my 2 big brave Sheps even hear the rain they won’t get up, even to take a look. A

Our cat was different. If it was raining, she was out in it. Always.
