Let him outside - he's a dog, not a toddler. :)
what's the difference...?

questions.
Really, I've never owned a little dog, so I don't know if they are
susceptible to colds or something, but dogs are supposed to get wet, IMO.
Just dry him off with an old towel when he gets in. Besides, if you
"teach"
him that rain is icky now, you'll have a hell of a time later on trying to
get him to go outside when it rains. Remember anything you instill now
will
most likely be carried on into the future, generally.
Oh, and if you live in a place where you have to do a lot of raking, you
have to play in the leaf pile with him. When my dog was an itty bitty
puppy, I had a blast doing that. Throw him in, watch him disappear and
come
tearing out the other side. Then get in some wrestling in the pile.
Honestly, I felt like I was 6 again.
Ahh...puppies...good times.
