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.

Ha ha ha, I just laughed out loud and even snorted a little bit. You have such a clever way of telling the funny stories that happen to you. Too bad Olive didn't use her awesome dog house!
ReplyDeleteoh poor puppy...she will just have to learn that the dog house will keep her warm if she gets in haha
ReplyDeleteThe Rain brings out her golden locks also!
ReplyDeleteShe takes after her relative Buck! He would just sit in the rain too, or the snow or whatever. Dog houses are just a thing in the yard!
