Well, today was a total wash-out. It rained all day long, and the dog I’m pet-sitting didn’t seem to want to go outside at all, even to do his “duty.” I had to drag him outside using the leash and walk around with him until he did his thing. This is unusual; in good weather all I normally have to do is open the door to the fenced in yard and out he goes! He usually likes being outside quite a bit, running around the yard barking at the evil squirrels and the occasional deer that wanders by.

When it rains here, the mosquitoes are extra nasty. You would think that the rain would get them to settle down and hide under the leaves of the plants to stay dry, but no, the rain makes them even more aggressive and bloodthirsty! So I wasn’t too pleased about braving the mosquitoes while making the dog be outside! I hope tomorrow’s weather is nicer!
