Its snowing/storming but my dog wants to go on walk

Not sure if it's a bug. But when it's snowing/storming, my dog is whining because he/she wants to go for a walk.

I tried sending my pet out to potty instead of walk (which he obliged) but after a few sim hours, my pet is unhappy again and wants to go for a walk.

And when I do send my sim and dog for a walk while snowing/storming, they both become uncomfortable (cold/wet)

Then there was a period whereby it was storming daily for 3 consecutive days so I decided NOT to go for a walk at all and my pet ended up running away after the storm stopped. Geez!

Does anyone else encounter this? And what do you do? Should I still bring my dog for a walk??

I'm reaching a point whereby I do not want a sim dog anymore :(

  • I have this problem also. It's funny but annoying at the same time. One of my Sim dogs just had to go walkies on the second day of a three-day long blizzard. I have the cold acclimation reward trait for the owner of that dog so I thought they'd be fine as long as it was a short walk. Well, the dog returned home without its owner and proceeded to head for the food bowl without a single thought about her missing owner. I quickly looked for him and found him trying to run for his house but he couldn't stay on his feet long enough to make any headway. He must have unleashed his dog then tried to run home only to end up on his back out in that blizzard. He would get up, take a step then back down he'd go. And the entire time he was trying to get home, his dog went about eating, playing with a squeeky toy then falling asleep on the couch. How rude. LOL I know what you mean about those Sim dogs wanting to go for walks during bad weather. The only things I have found that will stop them from sulking is to play with them a couple times or play fetch in the house. Brushing them also helps. I think they want attention more than the walk.
  • Now that is something to think about. It didn't occur to me to take a little trip to Oasis Springs and walk my dogs there. Thanks for the tip, paradiseplanet!
