About daylight the dog still had not aroused from her cave (she sleeps in a heavily blanketed wolf's cage, most nights), so I awakened her and opened the doors to head topward the back dog for her to do her morning business.  Whe I opended the door, instead of stretching and walking out as usual, she ran to her hiding spot -- she thinks she can't be seen-- did her am tinkle, and ran and jumped up on the sofa and buried herself under pillows.  So, to teach her never to do that again -- this was the first time in 4 years-- I picked her up and put her out back for 20 minutes, anyway.  When I finally let her in she looked at me like I was St. georges Dragon, and she was among the persecuted.

Skip to a few minutes ago, a little after noon.  She is playing outside while my wife and I are reading inside; suddenly I noticed it was raining  -- and at a pretty good clip.  So I march to the back door and she is standing there , once again, among the persecuted.  She is now buried beneath the sofa cushions once again, and as soon as it quits raining -- it has already slowed down-- I'm going to pick a few tomatoes from my garden to go with our lunch.

I hope everyone is having a pleasnt day..................
