Isnt it great?!
water had got into the lining of my horses rug-fortunately she was still dry but she looked like she was carrying a big water balloon at the bottom of her rug which sloshed about when she walked. it was funny until i had to get it off her and throw it up onto a beam to dry-i got soaked!lol
had a day off today but no point going anywhere, its too wet
drove 15 mins to pick up feed to find it hadnt come in.grrrr
dogs drenched, muddy and smelly-the pyr takes hrs to dry. they're happy though, they're asleep in front of the rayburn
had a head cold for a couple of days too :(
ok moan over!

Similar problems here - back garden is flooded and my dog thinks its heaven to splash in..then runs muddy water all over my house. He seems to think he is a canine sponge and seems to absorb any type of mud/water etc which he then deposits in little puddles/large footprints everywhere! lol The other dog tippytoes through it, but they still need walking and i had 1child off school ill today too - great fun, NOT!
I hate it when it rains this much, causes sooo much mess! How does everyone else keep their houses so clean?! Mine resembles a farmyard at the best of times..

lol i understand your pain - have full dripping waterproofs still thrown in the bath from when my daughter decided to play "bubbles" in the garden earlier and had to put my other daughter's school uniform and coat into the dryer when she got home - she was soaked, and that was from waiting for the bus this morning! Her little feet were blue! lol

lol i think our weather has been confused. the last 2 days its been nice and hot actually but for the week beofre that it was clear skies followed by pouring rain followed by clear skies followed by pouring rain and maaan you get my drift right lol
very confusing. well my girls just refuse to go out in the rain i think pip likes it lol but not for long and angel hates it and cries if i so much as make her look out the wondow when its raining and bindi is too young ive never let her near it lol we got new carpets last month (day after we gt the pup what a clever mother i have lol) so yeh if we get caught out in the rain ect.. pip stays in the kitchen and the pups come to my room. they lie all over my bed. well angel does lol. i must go through like 6 bedspreads on a rainy day lol such naughty girls :P i learnt now to change it an hour before bed that way no bad lol. if i could id bath my dogs everytime they smell of wet dog but when its raining they smell of wet dog and when it hot they go in the sea and smell like wet dog so i have some very happy but smelly dogs right now lol

i know- i brought mine in at 8.30 this am and she'd already got loads on her. i've got a good recipe to make fly spray. costs less than half what it does in the shops so you can use loads to keep the little so and so's away for longer. i'll look it out for you if you like

i'm liking the new pic by the way

Blazing sunshine today - bliss!! lol
Not very nice for the dogs though, they get so hot - although Jas could find water anywhere and the muddier the better for cooling him down! Poppy still runs around like a mad thing basically until she drops. Shes mental! At least i got a bit of a suntan at Amber's sports day today. :-)
