This week, is a different kettle of fish to last week. T-shirts.....warm weather.....dogs panting....cats finding that chink of sun on the bed!!
ALL CHANGE! Monday was Monsoon Day......wet, wild and.....errr...fun?? Maybe for the dogs, or dog in my case. My own dog Gretal, is wrapped up in her bright orange coat, with her name lovingly embroidered in the corner. She has a habit of doing the best dogs trust pose imaginable.....you know, a whippet, with its tail tucked under, giving you those woeful eyes. Well, that's what Gretal does....and it's embarrassing.....hence the coat! She'll stay dry, so her fur doesn't stick to her body in the rain, making her look like the best advert ever!!! In contrast, my doggy daycare visitor is Madge, a black Labrador, who LOVES the rain. Bouncing and running through the rain, just like some Timotei advert (I'm trying not to imagine a black Labrador with a blonde wig on here) ...in direct contrast to my own dog, who acts like I'm an uncaring brute, when she could be curled up in front of the fire....bearing in mind she's a warm dog, and she insists on making sure her blood boils when the fire is lit....being brought up with cats has its disadvantages methinks! Anyway, I digress.....monsoon weather on Monday. I rummage through my belongings and find my waterproof legs (yes, I know they're called trousers really), and my waterproof mac, and truss myself up like some turkey...not forgetting my bobble hat, with my waterfproof hood constricting my airway as I tighten it against the raging wind. I stay totally dry, don't I, smug because I have all of my waterproof gear snuggly wrapped around my body. One small thing I've forgotten to do.....check that they don't need re-proofing. Ahhhh, yes, I knew there was something...doh!!!! I might join Gretal's camp.....water?? Who needs to go out in the rain....only a daft labrador!! Oh yes, and me :-)
