I'm cold Mom

Well, we got caught in the rain.

Fortunately, my parents did pack the rain gear, but you know me ... low to the ground, without a hood. I still get wet.


Yep, it's raining out alright. Looks like we'll have to wait it out.


Luckily, someone brought me a towel this time (way to go Alpha).

So I get a nice buff job.


Hey ... just call me St. Frito of the Kibbles.

And I think that is totally appropriate ...


... after all, we are sitting here at a church.

Raining in Siena

So it was raining on our vacation (I mean, the nerve! ;-) On this day, we thought we would head to one of the larger Tuscan cities and grab some internet access. That was easier said than done ;-)


But we did finally find some, and my parents made sure I had my own towel to keep me dry and warm, and they carried me around to save me from getting too soaking wet.

Hey, I just like getting out with the family. Pretty easy to please me!

A little rainy

The weather was not exactly cooperative on this trip. We had some nice days, but also some rainy ones. And on this day we had a brief deluge ;-)


So even though I was wearing my waterproof vest, I still got soaked. And then chilly. So my parents had to think fast ... and they bought me a towel (hee, hee).


But you see, then the sun came out, and I was able to do some rolling in the sun. In the street perhaps, but at least in the sun.


Next we decided to have some food. So I joined the family at the table, and they used the towel to keep me warm so I would stop shivering.


In the end, Mom offered up her sweater, and that did the trick.

I think Greg was a little taken aback by the whole "pamper the dog" scene ;-) Perhaps he was a little jealous? (hee, hee).

Not just fair-weather walkers

Sometimes it's sunny ....

.... and sometimes is cold, raining, muddy, slushy, icy and treacherously slippery!

But that just shows our level of dedication (on Day #2 of our Volksmarching opportunity).

I finished up just like a wet, cold rat. But Mom and Alpha had towels in the car, and they gave me a vigourous rub-down to make sure I was dry and warm. They are too good to me ;-)

It never rains ...

... in Southern California.

See my new "rain slicker" that Mom made for me. It's awesome. She's gonna enter it in an embroidery contest. I hope she wins. 'Course, the fact that I am in the picture is a big advantage, you must admit.

So what about Southern California? Well, that's where most of my family is off to on vacation. I'm having my own vacation with my trainer/boarder (Monica), and her doggies. Hopefully, I'll learn to like all the other dogs, and have lots of socialization.

So just as a reminder to the old-timers out there ...

It Never Rains in Southern California, by Albert Hammond

Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

{Refrain}
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break

{Refrain}
