I think you need to be prepared to go as you made a promise to him. When you get home, discuss it with him and see if he'll accept some doggie treats in lieu of a walk tonight, with the promise of the walk tomorrow or soon.

Ha! I doubt that very much. So, did you have to take him for the walk that night, or did he understand the rain issue?

Hmm, I can enjoy walking in the rain- but not the cold nasty rain of early "Spring" (it can hardly be called Spring when it still snows 6 inches).
In the summer, it would be much more fun.

I'm a pet mom to a couple of rescues ... neither of them especially cuddly. I've had doggie fever this spring - someone I could go on walks with ... but it just seems irrisponsible at this point in my life. Especially since Grandma and Grandpa have to watch the kitty now because she lives outdoors.
My bird is probably the one that will chase away any potential step-dads. She can be loud - but she can be so sweet too. And she doesn't seem to have big issues with me going to work. Actually - sometimes (like today) I think she is irked that I'm still here.
The other is a snake, and has to be the easiest pet ever. Hardly ever have to clean her cage (though boy is is gross to me when I do). She hates being handled, and rarely comes out unless it is night and she thinks everyone is in bed. She only eats once a week or so.
But I long for someone more cuddly and active!

How old are they? I'd have them spade/neutered if I were you. Chances are it's going to be a lot easier than constantly trying to keep them in.
Kitties aren't generally known for their high morals.

Cute labguy. We used to have a cat that would not set one paw outside from the first snow until Spring. We used to say it was finally Spring when he went to the door to go outside- seemed like he really knew when the snow was really done!
But he would be outside a lot in the summer. These cats are really indoor cats- the one just thinks she wants to be an outdoor cat right now.

Is your neighborhood safe to let her out, gma? If so, and she's spayed, I would let her out. I just think indoor pets need outside air.
I once had a Siamese who loved to go outside. She was front paw declawed. We moved to a new community, and soon one of the new neighbors introduced herself to my ex at his work. She asked if we would keep our cat inside. The cat was going two yards over, fighting her dogs in their yard... and winning!

LOL, that sounds like a Siamese Pruned! The "Spring" knowing cat was Siamese too.
Actually right now I live on a pretty busy street, I don't really thing it would be safe to let them out. My DS2 does take them out with a harness and leashed to something in the yard sometimes so they get out but can't run. They don't like that though, lol.

I just have to share something about my kitty.
He's grown quite a bit during the winter. I mean, he's beyond fat. He actually looks like a miniature grizzly bear. Anyway, being a fitness freak, I decided that I'm going to put him in an exercise routine. I'd start slow by taking him to the bottom of the stairs and make him climb up 3 floors to our suite. But the problem is the can has a severe phobia of going outside our suite. The only place he goes to is the balcony. As soon as i opened the door, he started freaking out but since I'm stronger than him, lol...I just held him tight. As we were walking down the stairs, I guess he was so terrified that he peed....literally peed himself on me because he was freaking out so bad. So, needless to say, no exercise for him from now on. lol
It was hilarious though. Love my little grizzly.

Poor kitty.
What food are you feeding him ~ and how much? Munchie would weigh a ton if she got all the meat she wanted. She has about 30g a day now and then biscuits (Hills Oral Care).
I also have toys that she'll chase ~ the kind on a stick.
Munchie is due to go for her annual check up soon. She gets so angry when I put her in the carrier ~ and then, as I walk through town, she cries pitifully and I just see all these people looking round for a cat and not seeing one! I've been asked a couple of times what has happened to her because she sounds as though she's in so much pain!

Are any of you guys familiar with the kids show "WonderPets"? If not, it is about a yellow duck, a turtle and a hamster looking type animal- the story line (Ha!) is that a animal is in "trouble" somewhere and the 3 pals, the WonderPets, get a call on their tin can phone to come save the animal in trouble. (stick with me here, I'm getting to the point- really  )
So the other night when my Granddaughter decided she wanted to stay with me overnight, we got home and the smaller kitty (the one that wants out) was by the door. Kitty took one look at Miss 2 & 1/2 and beat it for under my bed(Miss 2 & 1/2 likes to hug and "love" the kitty). Granddaughter & I went into my bedroom and we heard a "meow". Miss 2 & 1/2 looks at me and says "Grandma, there's an animal in trouble, we need to save her!". So cute. Believe me, kitty didn't want to be "saved"! So I just couldn't find where she was hiding...
A pet parent has to protect their pet from being saved sometimes!
