What's A Mother To Do?

Well, Sophie and I are supposed to be at the hospital today between 12:30 and 1:00 for our weekly Therapy Visit. We have missed the last two weeks because of a Cold, and an out of town trip, so did not want to miss today. Here's the problem, it is raining. To say that it is pouring would be an understatement.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to get Sophie in the door of the hospital without her being soaked. I can carry her if it has stopped raining so as not to get her feet and belly wet, but I can't carry an umbrella and Sophie if it is still pouring. According to Delta rules I'm not to hand her off to anyone else in the facility, so that I could pull up and drop her off and go park. She has to remain under my control at all times. Plus she then wouldn't get to potty right before going in. So, I thought well she does have her rain coat, she hates it, but let's see if I can get her to wear it. I put it on her about an hour ago and if looks could kill ... well let's just say I then wouldn't have a problem. She has not moved from her spot since I put it on her. She won't come for a treat, she won't come for the door bell, nothing. She will not move. Think I'm just going to have to grab the blow dryer and head out a little earlier than normal. Rain Rain, Go Away!
