A Royal Decree By Her Majesty

We are now entering our eighth day in a row of rain, totaling 5.11″ or 13 cm, with several more days expected. In response, Her Majesty Queen Natasha the Evil has issued a new royal decree.

I, Queen Natasha the Evil, do hereby decree . . .

All of the rain and mud has severely hampered our ability to get outside, take walks or hikes, or otherwise exercise. Thus, Hu-Dad is getting the joy of dealing with not only that wonderful wet dog aroma but also some pent-up energy.

All members of The Herd may go totally crazy and wreak havoc inside!

Needless to say, that has led to some massive indoor games of “tackle-wrestle-bitey face-body slam-tag you’re it.” Long time readers know that is our all-time favorite game, but Hu-Dad usually insists it is done outside.

I further decree that no canine shall be held responsible for any damage indoors until this weather abates. I see nothing.

Unfortunately, the rebellion against Hu-Dad’s indoor restrictions is growing and the Queen seems to be leading the free-for-alls.

Any questions, Hu-Dad?

Hu-Dad used the slight break in our monsoon like week to take a few pictures of the early color of fall around our property. Too see his pictures, go here.

Chessie says it hasn’t rained since she came to live here two weeks ago, but it did last night, and now the humans expect to wipe her paws after every visit outside?! Please, no more rain!

Send some our way! With temps still at 107, we could definitely use a change!
