Rain Rain, Go Away

So, I don't know about you guys, but our weather has been miserable. Rain just about every day, for a week.

I know we need rain for crops, yadda yadda (though the way the weather has been up and down, I hear tell that New York State has lost something ridiculous like 70% of this year's apple crop!), but it really puts a damper (hah) on many activities, such as long sunny walks in the park, and having headache free time.

I figured I'd just post a couple of old walk pictures, and hope that sunny days are coming soon.

Elka in the little creek at the park:




 We're both in motion in this one; I won't say I was running, but it was more brisk than a regular walk. Elka was getting ready to open up for her twenty feet, though!


There's always so much at the park to see and hear and smell! I didn't hear what she heard (bird? Squirrel? Chipmunk?), but Elka looked that way for a little while before we kept on.


More sniffing:


Napping once we're home:

    1. At the very least, we still go outside for potty, but Elka acts like she'll melt in the rain!

  7. We would welcome some of your rain, but there is probably no way you could get it in the mail or anything.

    1. I don't think I can mail enough bottles of it...somebody would get suspicious.

      Yeah, Elka needs to get her stuff together (or lose it a little) so that we can stir up enough Mischief to submit to y'all!

  9. We love the rain but I guess we'd get tired of it after a while too. The one bad part is all those muddy paws!

    1. Yes, muddy paws can be a bummer! Luckily, Elka is very good about having her paws wiped.

  13. She is so darn adorable. I am sorry it's been raining so much there. We had rain every day except two in May and it was rough. Maybe July will be better? I hope so!

      I do hope July (and maybe the rest of June?) is better. July is my favorite month!
