King Arthur sends Sir Lancelot out on an important mission to deliver a message to the king of Spain. It is a long distance, and Lancelot looks in the Kingdom for a good horse to take him there. He finally makes it to a small village and gets to the Inn. He goes up to the Innkeeper and explains his horse is lame. That is, he needs a good horse so that he can fulfill his mission to deliver the message for the king. The Innkeeper replies that this is only a small village, and most of the horses around are not up to the task. He is welcome to look around, however, and if he can find anything, he is certainly welcome to it. Lancelot looks around the village, and he finds is a very large dog: almost as large as a pony. The dog is a mess, however. It is mangy, parts of its fur are falling off, and it is full of fleas. Lancelot is desperate at this point, and he looks it over carefully. It does, however, appear to be strong enough to take him to Spain (which is only 3 days away at this point). Lancelot goes back to the Innkeeper, and acknowledges that he cannot find a horse in the village that he can use. He says, however that this dog, Old Mange, might be able to take him most (if not all) of the way to his destination. The Innkeeper hears this, stiffens up, and says : Sir. I wouldn’t send a Knight out on a dog like that.
T. Rex reminds me of my outlaws’ last Dachshund, who HATED going out in the rain. If it was raining & she needed to do her business, she’d go to every door & window in turn to see if by some chance there was one where it wasn’t raining. Failing that, she’d hold it until she couldn’t stand it any more – as long as a couple of days! – then she’d creep out under the eaves, do it as quickly as possible, & dash back inside.

Rain, hail, sleet, or snow, when nature calls, dogs gotta go

OK, you asked for it.

Or, as my old mother used to say ’It’s not fit to send the dog out, let your father go!’

The dog won’t go unless he absolutely can’t hold it in any longer.

Rain and bitter cold are perhaps the only reasons I wouldn’t adopt another dog.
