A rainy day

I had a dream about Skooter. He and I were up in the mountains hiking. Skooter was running all around, having a grand old time. He was even chasing butterflies. When I woke up, I must not have been fully awake, because I thought I heard Skooter bark. It startled me. When I woke up a bit more I realized I'd been dreaming and hearing things. Skooter isn't here to bark to wake me up, though I wish he was. It was so lovely being with him in the dream.

It's a rainy, cold windy day today. A day that Skooter will not enjoy. On days like this, he would stick his nose out the door and turn right back around and come in. He wasn't going out in that! I had to coax him out to go to the bathroom and he'd go as fast as he could and run back into the warmth of the house. I enjoyed knowing that he loved being in the house with me.

I wonder if it's raining down in Penrose today? If it is, most likely the dogs will stay in their kennels most of the day, only to be let out to go to the bathroom. And Skooter won't be happy about going out. :-) Maybe Kris will let the dogs in the house for a bit today. Skooter and Moped would love that (especially Skooter!). They have their saddle blankets in their kennel so they should stay dry and warm if it is raining. They love having a blanket in their kennel.

I don't know what it is about the weekend that makes me miss them so much more. I think it's because David is home and we'd spend more time together with the dogs, maybe taking them out for a ride. Skooter was so comfortable riding in the car. Lots of times he would fall asleep! Moped on the other hand was a terror in the car, always wanting to get into the front seats. I have a box that has their restraints and a seat cover in it. I haven't been able to open it or return it. It just sits there reminding me of them. Maybe I'll do something with it today.

Maybe not.
