Rain Soaked but Happy

[Adina P]

I am a fair weather kinda gal and thus a fair weather trainer...and I almost always HATE rain. Give me clear skies and sunshine, please!

But today I had a friend commit to meeting me out in the park and if SHE was willing to brave wetness (as long as it wasn't pouring) no way was I going to wimp out!

When we got there the rain was bearable...but it quickly became a torrential storm!

Luckily for me, and unluckily for them...the local Kennel Club was setting up for their annual Dog Fest so we had all sorts of stuff to work with before my friend arrived (and for a bit after). While they were huddling under tents...Boca and I were running around soaked. It was pretty funny!

We lasted nearly 20 minutes, but once I could no longer see through my glasses, my pants were completely soaked, and Boca's leash weighed more than she did...I knew it was time to quit.

Oh my gosh Adina YOU ARE A DOODLE!!!! All skinny when wet. I knew you were small, but oh my. Dis you have to remove burrs from your hair when you got home. Just catching up on your pages. Love Boca. And Natalie . . . oh this 56 yr old not a grandma yet is drooooolingggg!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Battening down the hatches for hurricane Igor, we'll be rain soaked and not so happy. You certainly are a good doodle mom, have you been taking lessons from the postman.

[Camilla and Darwin]

I bet Boca enjoyed the rain! Darwin loves getting wet! You are braver than I!

Perhaps you just think you're happy but you have water on the brain.

Now monsoons were NOT LISTED as a distraction on last weeks list.

P.S. During Starlit's CGC test the distraction was a kitty cat. Yes, we had a cat in the room walking freely around. Don't know though if you would like to add a kitty to your list.

Yeaaaaaa Adina and Boca!!!!!!! My inspiration! Boca is so focused on you DISPITE the rain. I'll bet it didn't bother him one bit!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

How is little Boca doing? We haven't heard much about her lately. Did Clark stay home with Natalie and Rosco and keep dry while you were out there int he rain? Please send it this way!

Too funny. What a trooper!

Way to go Adina!! I am impressed and inspired and really glad I am sitting in my nice warm house with the rain pouring down outside!! LOL!!! I think we're getting the same weather system here! Warm and very wet!! (meaning "warm" in an Oregon kind of way of course!!) Is this how I will be if I ever make it to the HDA stage???

[Adina P]

Oh and of course the rain died down to a sprinkle 5 min after we got home!
