I was awakened in the wee hours this morning by a large black dog clawing at my back. Assuming Ice had a CODE 1 potty issue, I bounced out of bed to escort her to the door . . . and that's when I heard it. Rain! Rain! Rain! (and thunder - thus leading to the claw marks on my back, but who cares! We got RAIN!)

So I gathered my crew and hustled outside to play in the rain. Some of us, however, were less than amused with a morning walk in the rain.

"Freakin' rain! Freakin' thunder! Freakin' Freaks who play in the freakin' rain!"

Others more than made up for this lack of enthusiasm. I apologize for the quality of the photos. It was dark, and it was raining, but Briar's exuberance was such a joy to behold that I simply had to share it with you.

Thank you for indulging us in our celebration of rain. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. Oh! But wait! One more thing!

"Thank you, Lord, for sending us rain!"

So glad you're getting rain. I hope you get LOTS and LOTS of it! (But not enough to create bad floods.)

I bet your whole body is giving a sigh of relief. When we don't get rain when we should, I get edgier and edgier. When it finally comes my whole body relaxes. It's like I was holding my breath. I think the animals feel the same. Jan & the Clan

Glorious rain! We had some in Kansas also and it was amazing how happy everyone was and how happy the plants looked. I have a dog that hates the thunder also, and another that doesn't like to get her feet wet. But they enjoyed the smells of a damp world. Thank you Lord!
