There are many wonderful aspects of living with a dog. However, some things we could do without especially this occasionally rainy Autumn.
Rain, unlike snow, is wet.
Rain means a dog with muddy feet.
Rain, unlike snow, is not frozen.
Rain means soft soggy dog presents on the lawn.
Autumn is also called Fall for a good reason. There are leaves everywhere in our backyard, and if you don't keep them raked every day, then those soggy dog goodies are hidden.
Things hidden in leaves are easily stepped in and soggy things stick really well to shoes.
The family feels that puppies shouldn't be left out during the rain, even if they have a lovely dry doghouse. When puppies are left alone, even with toys galore, they find new things to play with. One rainy day, ours discovered toilet paper. This was a double roll--one of those wonderful rolls about 6 inches thick that just barely fit on the dispenser. Apparently those are the most fun to play with. We came home to find our downstairs bath looked like a freak blizzard had just roared through. Kharma looked very satisfied, entertained and ready for more fun!
We're so glad she doesn't mind being shut up alone.
