The State Fair Is In Town!!!

filed in Knuckleheads on Sep.13, 2008

So of course it’s raining. The Knuckleheads REALLY wanted out to check out the squirrel tree, so I let ‘em. They sprinted to the tree, Lucky barking as usual (soooo irritating) and dancing around looking up, where is that pesky squirrel? Then they realized—oh….my….gosh….it’s RAINING!Must…get….back….into….house NOW. These guys act as if they will melt if subjected to raindrops of any size, for any length of time. You expect this from a little dog, but not from these big bruisers. These same knuckleheads will jump in and out of their kiddie pool, scratching and playing in the water like it’s the best thing they’ve ever experienced. They will frolic in the water at the edge of the lake, springing and swimming and splashing. So what IS it about RAIN that sends them packin?!? The bright side is they will now give me some peace about going out to chase the squirrel. The squirrel is smart enough to be safey nestled away in his tree home, and HE isn’t coming out, that’s for sure. The sad side is now our plans for a visit to the Fair this afternoon will have to be changed. Wah! Maybe tomorrow….
