Standing In The Rain

This morning when I woke up it was raining and my thoughts were what a blah day. I felt I couldn't do anything without sunshine. Getting Laney to go out in rain is like pushing a mule out the door. She does not like rain, for what reason I do not know. As I sat there watching it rain, I thought what is stopping me from going out in the rain. I couldn't come up with any reason not to go out in the rain. So, I got dressed went out on my patio and stood in the rain. The longer I stood there the harder it rained and I was getting soaked and loving every minute of it. I even tried to coax Laney into the rain, but she just stood at the door and looked at me as if I had lost my marbles. I even pulled up some flowers that had been killed by the frost. And guess what, the only thing that happened was my hair got curly and my clothes were soaked. I didn't get sick, nor did anything awful happen. It was like any other day just no sunshine. So I thanked God for rainy days and the person that invented dryers. And, someday I hope Laney will join me in the rain.

Rainbows

I recently had the pleasure of seeing a double rainbow. The colors were very vibrant and I was wondering if Laney would be able to see the beauty of it. After some research I have discovered that dogs are only able to see two primary colors, blue and yellow. Also because they do not have as many cones in there eyes, the colors are not as vibrant. How I wished she could have experienced the beauty. I also had the pleasure of recently traveling through the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia and experiencing the beautiful fall foliage. It was a painted portrait of God's country. I would recommend a road trip through the mountains for everyone, including my four legged friend. What's a road trip without my Laney even if she can't see the red and oranges. Who knows maybe we'll sail away and find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, in the mountains of course.
