Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Wet Dogs ~ OH MY

We have weather! Can you believe it? Not just rain (which is usually a drizzly mist compared to - well everywhere else but SoCal) but real weather. Fences falling over, trees breaking, tornado watch at local schools~ up and down our street yesterday the palm trees were blowing sideways and it looked like a hurricane. Of course, we're used to sunny sunny sunshine so any amount of weather is a big deal for us. I have to admit that usually I don't care for the rain but I'm kind of liking it right now. I don't like the damage it causes but we need the rain and it makes it feel like winter. I love lighting a fire in the fireplace, brewing a cup of tea, and snuggling up with my pups and a good book. The kids are having a blast getting blown around and soaking wet going from the house to the car and back. They love stomping in puddles and dressing in rain gear! Rain boots instead of sandals are a novelty when you live at the beach. I took the dogs for a walk yesterday and they were soaked, nothing like the smell of wet dog. I love my dogs. Roxy is from the Downey shelter in Los Angeles County and Pookie, the yorkie, is a backyard rescue.

ROXY (short for Rockstar) ~ my girl is a terrier mix ~ I rescued her from Downey. Please consider adopting your next pet. The fees are really low in L.A. too. Check out the sweeties just waiting for a home. http://animalcare.lacounty.gov/


POOKIE (named by the kids after Garfield's teddy bear) ~ my lil guy is 2 years old.
