Washington rain is here!

I have been pleasantly surprised to see how dry it has been this fall. But today, I woke up thinking, "Oh it still must be early, it doesn't look very light out." Oh I was wrong. The familiar gloomy clouds of the Northwest have made their fall debut. I think this is the heaviest rain of the autumn season! So now, we are resorted to playing chicken with the rain, trying to get the dogs out to pee before another typhoon session comes. Those of you who have pets know what I am talking about. If it is raining, I often find myself arguing with Tim about who is going to dry them off. And constantly changing the rules to whatever will give me the best advantage.
Tim "Mommy, let the beasties in."

Nita "No, I let them out, you let them in."
and on and on it goes, then the next day.....

Nita "Oh succulent lamb chop, you let your dogs out, you need to let them in."
Tim "No, you let them it," and our story continues.
