There are several things I was planning on blogging today, our trip to Washington D.C., fixing the hole in the ceiling, having fun with our friends at a Labor Day BBQ, but this trumps them all.
Olive usually wakes up when Paul gets up for work. That means around 6 a.m. But if he is home and sleeps in, we can expect her to cry to be let out of her kennel about 7 a.m. . On days like that one of us gets up and lets her out the back door. We then go back to sleep. Today was one of those typical mornings. I let Olive out at about 7, and went back to bed. When I woke up at 8:45 I noticed it was still very dark outside. Paul got up and opened the back door to let Olive in so she could eat breakfast. This is what he found:
Apparently somewhere in the 2 hours that Olive was outside, it began to rain...hard. Any intelligent dog would go find some shelter. There are a couple of options in our back yard. Option #1: The brand-new dog house purchased for just such an occasion. Option #2: Large bushes that have space underneath them for even a human to sit. Olive chose Option # 3: 
Sit on the porch in the pouring rain until Paul and Bel get up to let her inside.
