Glen, nice thing about short haired spotted dogs, they do not get soaked & stay soaked... you will come to appreciate old towels, & to have them at all doorways.
Our girl Kiko came to us with many 'issues' & getting toweled off was something that totally freaked her... she now loves it (repeated fun practice.....that is what this weather gives you, lots of time to repeat!)
You most likely will not ever need the raincoat, as I have a sneaking suspicion that Mindy will come to love the rain, esp. if it means great fun quality-time walks....& that means the dog walker has to have fun, too, so go out in swim trunks & a light shirt & have a blast with her... she will come to look forward to these rainy days....
