Walking On Egg Shells

I got tickled at Rowdy the other day.  We have been having heavy rain for several days and there is water standing in the yard.  Rowdy"s spoiled and doesn't like the wet outside, so I had to force him to go out to do his business.  Reluctantly, he slowly proceeded out in the yard, so carefully taking each step that he looked like he was walking on egg shells, or maybe even navigating a mine field!
