Wet Face

Logan looks at me as if to say - so I had a drink - what?
It's wet outside. Life is busy but the dogs are lounging. They ate? They looked outside and said you want me to go out in THAT? Rain and Hope did and came back to mud all over their feet and all over the floors. I had grooming to do. We had things we needed to do. The house is a mess. I am tired physically and emotionally.
The rain is depressing and work - work such as floors etc that I do not have time for. He wants vistors to come over at 1030am tomorrow and I said only if you help clean. Dennis is off today. Dennis helps me clean but even when he says he will Nathan doesn't. It is always on Dennis and I then it is my fault when I don't have the energy. Ever have those days? Sorry - I needed to vent - me who was with just Dennis and I for a week while he was in the sun and eating out.
So, after this blog, I need to brush some dogs. Go to an event this evening and what and come back and clean - really?
I have finally decided that the dogs and I and maybe Dennis hate the rain as it means work in many ways. I find the activity level is lower when it is raining and it takes Dennis or I to get the dogs running inside to get them active on rainy days. I think activity is good for the dogs.
What do you do to get your dogs active? It doesn't have to be physical but you can work their minds. I need some new things to do with the dogs - so please share.
The easiest thing would be for Nathan to say sure, I will help you clean but he won't.

I agree keeping the dogs minds busy is like a work out. I take Laci out for a car ride. Stop at places for errands where I can see her (the post office, pharmacy). When we return she’s thankful, happy & tired. Having said that, she’s almost 13, but she’s always loved her car rides.
You sure do get a lot of rain. We just got intermittent misting here today.
Debi: What a great idea!!! It didn't pour here but off and on rain that created mud and they say snow is coming. I placed down a heavy amount of riverstone and they still find the mud especially Rain, Hope and Harlow. Though Harlow is not crazy about mud. She comes in holding her paws up as if to say - get this mud off of me. It's adorable.
If Bailey doesn’t have other dogs to play with (ie. isn’t with you guys), she would prefer not to go out. She won’t step in puddles. I carry her over them and put her on the grass so she can do her business. Little princess.
