By the afternoon, with a month’s worth of rain in the last 24 hours, poor little Lulu Belle could not contain herself any longer and barked and barked to go outside. I tried to explain that it was torrential rain and she would not like it. For some reason she thinks that rain only happens in the back yard and when we go out the front door it will be different. So out we went in the down pour. After a while we were all so wet it did not matter anymore.
It’s raining,
it’s pouring,
the old dog is snoring.
Bumped her head when she got out of bed,
and she couldn’t get up in the morning.
Rain, rain, go away!
Come again some other day.
Louise and Sofie want to play.

Louise: “Mom, could you please tell her not to touch me!”
Sofie: “Ah, Gee Louise, I just like to tick you off”
Louise: “Mom! Mom! Make her stop!”
So much for a peaceful Sunday morning watching TV.

I was doing the laundry and I looked up and there was a vulture (named Nine the cat) way up in the ceiling. I have never had a cat like Nine. He finds the highest and most dangerous places to hide out. The only problem is that we are afraid he will fall between the walls when he is in the unimproved areas of the house. To get where he is in this picture (on top of the furnace duct), he jumped from the dryer, on the other side of the room, to the top of a cabinet, to a beam, then did a high wire act across that beam, to another cabinet, to the copper pipe, you get the idea, Oh my!
I can not imagine a life without cats.
Happy Caturday.
