We were sleeping for most of the storm and unaware of the flooding until alerts blasted across our phones startling us awake. Clearly our dog was also unaware. Let me just share something with you about our incredibly smart Australian Shepherd:
Two weeks ago I bought her a bed. Not just any bed. A Serta mattress doggy bed (spoiled rotten, I know). The picture below serves as the proof (do not let the dog tell you otherwise).
Fast forward to this delightful morning, with our rain gauge reading 6 inches... Where is little doggy? OUTSIDE. Laying in the rain looking like a drowned rat.
Are we cruel animal owners? Ha! Her nice warm dry doggy bed was less then 20 yards away and freely accessed. But, as she is a very smart doggy, I am convinced that she must have just been taking her morning shower (too bad ticks can't be washed off).
But listen! Even Bubba duck loudly shared her displeasure when let out of her pen this morning. A DUCK!! I'm convinced she would wear a rain coat and boots if we provided them (but she would require they be of the latest fashion, of course).
I truly do not understand this dog. But she provides us with humor! I guess she can stick around. She just better start using that bed!!
Happy Friday!
