Before the Pour

Gonna get wet and cold today...

Before the Pour…


 


Rain predicted, so wet,


Still gotta work, so get,


Out the raincoat, and let,


Me stay dry, I am set…


 


The dog does not like being wet,


But as he is my one and only pet,


I will try to dry him each time you bet,


He still does shake it all over me, I regret…


 


Can hear it hit the roof, a wet day, I am so upset,


Would rather stay home and keep dry, then I’d be set,


Unable then I would be to pay my debt, therein I would fret,


So it’s off to work I do go; even Rufuz would rather go to the vet…

You gotta admit it is funny watching dogs race and dive into the rugs when they are wet :-) We had a lot of wind here today but at least it was warm and dry.

I share those sentiments about cold, rainy days!
Maybe you need a fireplace in that little abode of yours...hee hee...
I just had a mental picture of a wet Rufuz shaking the rain off his back, and putting the fire out.

Yeh, cold rains are no good. What you need is a nice warm rain to run around in. That's the best. Just ask Katy.

My dog requires an umbrella before descending the steps to do her duty. It is of course raining here. So get out the umbrella.
