FRIDAY NIGHT DOG BLOG - THE PLEASURE OF RAIN

The topic of climate change is in the air. Extreme events it seems will become worse. Still we have reached that part of the year when we can sometimes feel the chill in the evening or early morning. And we managed to get through the summer without bush fires. We had plenty of days with rain, which can be a mixed blessing.
At one moment the rain falls like the quality of mercy, then it comes down heavily, and then it goes away. I seem to pick the wrong moment to take Sasha and Dexter out. They do not seem to mind, and to even understand that "four legs good, two legs bad" applies when we are going down the potentially slippery paths - or more exactly that is what I imagine.

Here is a short chronology of the past week for Sasha and Dexter:

[Cooper comes around for a visit while I sweep leaves and bottle brush flowers, while Dexter in particular guards his territory.
I call to Cooper to get off the road,which he does, and then he hears voices and decides it time to , he runs home.]

It may be raining , but we are out. 06 April 2007.

We will again this week seek to board Friday Ark#133 at Modulator and catch the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings. I think the enlarged photos look a lot better?
