Marcie is always happy to greet the day. My windows must block sound
well though, because although she was thrilled to get up at 6, she
wasn't so thrilled when I opened the back door and expected her to go
out in icy rain! So, I went out with her (TG for my full length down
coat with hood!).

I don't know what time the rain started, but I have several small lakes
in my yard now, and I swear that half of it is sliding away in mud. As
of yesterday, we still had patches of ice and snow. They are gone, but
the water-logged yard may never dry out again.

We just went out again and once under pine trees, my rain-phobic puppy
decided that the deep puddles were fun to play in. Like Lucy, the
difference between water ON her and her IN water is a vast divide.

I know I'll be hoping for this rain during the summer, but right now, I
am less than thrilled that I have a puppy who still requires a little
prompting to get down to business instead of chewing on sticks.
