After having a dry summer, it seems that fall is making up for it.  We’ve certainly had a lot of rain.  It rained all day, all night, and all day again.  At least this time it isn’t coming from the same direction as the last storm and the roof isn’t leaking.  However, it did get chilly enough to turn the heat on.

     It must be the cooler weather.  Just when I think I have them figured out, Gavin and Patty change things.  The crazy dogs have altered their schedules over the last couple of weeks.  Instead of sleeping from seven to two a.m., when they go out for a last call, and then sleeping for the rest of the night, they are now waking at ten and staying up until midnight.  From ten to midnight they race around the house playing doggie tag until they drop.  Then they want to go out.  After that, they zonk and sleep the rest of the night.

     Gavin enjoys going out in the rain some days and others he doesn’t want to go unless he must.  Today was one of those ‘let me out every five minutes’ days.  Even with his short wash and wear coat, I don’t think he dried out until almost three in the morning.  Patty on the other hand hates rain and is content to stay indoors until she’s desperate.
