It's always difficult to deal with the rain, but I'm certainly thankful for it anyway. We've been pretty dry the last few years, so the rain is welcome. Getting a 90lb German shepherd out for his walk in the rain is a chore. Actually, getting him out is no problem at all. It's getting him in--I suppose I should say getting him cleaned off enough to let him in the house--is the hard part. And, no matter how thorough you are in drying him, the house still smells like dog.
To top matters off, everytime we take Lolo to the nursery at church she develops a cold the following Wednesday. It never fails. Seriously. The last 3 or 4 times we have taken her, she wakes up on Wednesday with a little rattle which progressively gets worse until goo is coming out of her nose. I seem to catch it every time she brings it home. Bethie has gotten it too. It is somewhat discouraging because we are making the effort to go to church--and believe me, it's an EFFORT. Anyone that has ever had a child understands what I'm talking about. You need to plan to leave thirty minutes before you think you need to leave if you want to be anywhere close to on-time. I think I've had more colds this year than I've had in the last 5 combined.
Here's a couple of shots from today's adventure in the marshland formerly known as Austin...
And a couple of lolo too:
