    No, you will not. That's only an old wives' tale because back then, they noticed that more people catch colds during the winter. The reason why is because since it's cold, more people stay inside, hence making it easier to transfer sickness. Also, the cold makes our immune system weaker, again making it easier to get sick.

    You might get chilly with wet hair though. Try to dry your hair as much as you can. You can also wrap your hair around a dry towel. However you should have nothing to worry about catching a cold. :)

    You wont catch a cold as a cold is a virus.

    But you may get a chill, to avoid this you could dry with a towel, or a t-shirt you have already worn if your hair tends to get frizzy if you towel dry it.

    As long as your hair is no longer really wet but just damp you should be alright and you can let it air dry.

    Hope this helps.

    Most puppies like the rain given that they are water animals and were at first bred for water uses. They love water. Don't fear. Puppies don't experience temperature as touchy as we do. Just watch him. Dont preserve him out too lengthy.
