I will try for a gallery today if the rain stops. We have a mix of dogs. Sky seems to need a bath once a week. Why? She is a mud dog. She loves the dirt, rain and all that it brings with her - leaves, sticks etc. I hope she is a swimmer. As her line has Kat, Ella, Roxie in it, she will probably be apt to swim as well. She is a very messy dog. She is a mudpile today but with this rain, other than rinsing her off, washing would be futile. I will wait for Monday.
Spice, Tenshi, Murphy, Adele and River all dislike the rain. Sky will literally lay on the deck and get soaked. I should count my blessings that some dislike the rain as the cleanup is time intensive and usually a futile venture seeing they go back out and do it again.
The rest could care less in variety of degrees except it it is a downpour then no one wants to go even under the gazebos.
The gazebos have been our lifesaver. It stays dry under it and yes we have to wash off the deck and pick up but they get to go out without getting soaked. The dogs that hate the rain are starting to get that they can go out, enjoy and not get wet.
They say 1 more day of rain. I hate the rain. Used to like it but it means so much work. I wish I had a mudroom like our vet friend has. She has a tile area, with a drain with sides and a sprayer so she can wash feet as they come in. She also washes her dogs there. I like a at waist tub to wash but that mudroom feature sure is useful in spring and fall.
Gallery will come tomorrow. I am rather spent from all the washes and cleanups.
