Two dogs on a rainy day
Gavin rings the sleigh bells on the back porch door. “Wanna go out, NOW.”
“Hold on let me get a jacket.” I snag one off the hooks by the door. The bells are still ringing. “I’m right here. Stop with the bells already.”
We get outside and it’s raining.
Gavin runs for the door. “Wanna go in, NOW.”
We go in. Gavin doesn’t tell Patty it is raining. Patty wants out. I take her.
A raindrop hits her on the head she tucks her tail and reverses gears. “In. I wanna go in. Oh, please let’s go in.”
We go in.
Both dogs dance around in front of the cupboard. “Cookies! Don’t forget the cookies!” Gavin yells.
Patty sits and throws her front paws high in the air. “Stick ‘em up, I’m doing stick ‘em up! Give me a cookie.”
I give them their cookies, settle down in front of the computer and begin writing.
Five minutes later Gavin is ringing the bells to go out. “I’m bored. Wanna go out, NOW.”
Patty runs to join him. “If he’s going, I am too.”
“It’s still raining.” I tell them as I grab my jacket. Reread.

How many “re-reads” to get the full effect? 🙂
How many hours are in the day? 😉
Ok, that’s HILARIOUS! I laughed until I was red and out of breath – I live that ‘reread’ every rainy day. Why do I keep getting up? So my dogs won’t pee in the house. When it gets 6-8 hours without actually getting out the door, I just get a book, move a chair to the door, and open it every page turn, eventually their bladder wins over their fear of rain.
People who don’t have BTs have NO idea… 😉
