Wet Dogs!

This morning we woke to much needed rain.  Outside with the dogs on our first walk, no birds were singing and even the cicadas were quiet.

There was only the sound of the rain falling as everything seemed to quietly be soaking it all up. Everything feels a bit fresher, and the trees and grass are looking a little greener this afternoon.

Of course the dogs have been wet all day.   

As a result, its been a day that I've been reminded more than once that there is nothing more affectionate than a wet dog.

There is also nothing found in a bottle or spray that smells like one either.

But all dog-owners know that there are things that do come in a bottle that will help get rid of it.

Thank-goodness!
