Walking Dogs in the Rain!

good morning!

today
i'm a little late for 'grateful saturday'...

so it's 'grateful sunday' around here!

my brother's been staying here
and
yesterday




i'm grateful that he took two dogs on a long walk...



it was funny really...
he was standing in the dining room
rattling a  choker chain on the side board...
and
he didn't realise he was literally inviting them to take a walk
and they were nearly bursting with excitement,
whining and yapping and leaping around...haha!

he consented to walk them
so after a few minutes of trying in vain to keep them still
in order to put their leads on,
they were off out the door...

into the rain!


here they are again
arriving home after taking them downtown.
time to take their leashes off ...
a pair of wet and tired puppies,
ellie on the left
and max on the right,
wild eyed with his tongue hanging out!

not the best doggy portrait they've ever been seen in...
and that wet dog smell!

i'm grateful for a brother
who will take his sister's dogs for a long walk..
exhausting them thoroughly!

a late entry into 'maxabella's grateful saturday'...
enjoy your sunday!

    Yes you can't tease dogs by rattling the chain and then not taking them for a walk too cruel:)send some of that rain down here if you have some to spare, it is so dry,

    Hahaha, I do remember the feeling. I loved when people took my dog for a walk, felt like a holiday:) Miss my dog a lot, it really hurts, but I do not miss all the work:)

    I'm glad to say that Pip doesn't like getting wet too much ...so if it's raining she'd rather not go for a walk!! Wet dog smell definitely isn't a favourite!
