'Do I really have to get out?'

..... and the short answer was 'YES'

Fortunately, the rain stayed off while Poppy and I completed our circuit round Pollok Park but the ground was very, very muddy so we had no off the lead time today .... I didn't want to return a mucky dog to her home.

It has rained constantly since before just lunch time ..... glad that I was on the inside looking out as the rivulets continued to run down the windows.
