We are now on day Idon'tevenknowhowmany of rain, which I know isn't all that impressive to those of you in the north who look at stuff falling out of the sky all winter. However, southern California just isn't set up for weather, and more specifically neither is our house. The dogs have lost half of the back yard because I've closed the gates to the grass yard so they don't stomp it into mud. Whenever they come in the house, I either have to wipe their feet or if they are really wet, stick them into crates until they dry. Since Dodger has to pee about ever hour, I'm doing a lot of that.
And, they are BORED! We are doing some obedience training in the house, and out front on the rare times when it isn't pouring, but we haven't gone anywhere for over a week because all of our training groups have been cancelled. Teaz doesn't seem to notice the rain, but Dodger and Proxy hate it so they don't want to go play with her out in the cement yard, and there isn't room in the kennel building.
On the up side, it looks like we have finally found the right combination of medications for Dodger to feel like himself again. His next trials are the Wednesday and Thursday between Christmas and New Years, so we'll see how much stamina he has then, but right now he is looking really good. Cross fingers!
