Rain, rain, go away

There has been so much rain lately that our back yard makes squelching noises when you walk across it. None of the dogs like the rain much and Chima actually full on refuses to go out and has to be re-crated after multiple attempts before she will let me walk her on leash, off the deck to pee. If I don't leash her there's a good chance she'll just pee on the deck under the eaves of the house where it's dry.

So imagine all of our excitement last Friday when the sun broke out for enough time that the yard dried out and the dogs could actually play.

Klee had a case of the zoomies and Chima and a running puppy don't go well together so Chima and Tilly ended up having a separate play time after this photo session.

Klee explored one of Chima's favorite hunting spots - the Kerria shrub. Note the tunnel system that Chima has bulldozed through it.

Frodo's response to all this time out in nature was the same as always - dirt avoidance and asking me if he could just go inside and maybe play some nice clean Nose Work games or something.
