Some Rainy Sunday humor...

Here on Cape Cod, we have had 2 days of sunshine in the past 2 weeks.  Wet
dogs, wet floors, lots of wet towels, wet everything.  Today, we had a brief
few moments of respite.  Halley and her 12 week old brother Wrigley (or
Rigley, still debating the spelling) were restless. Actually restless is and
understatement.  They were approaching nuclear melt-down.  I was busy, so
asked my husband to take the dogs for a short walk up to visit a friends
gallery.  Just to use up some of their boundless energy.

My husband used to be referred to as "The Man Who Hates Dogs".  Before
Berners, that is.  Halley is his girl, Wrigley is, well, Wrigley.  So, he
sets out with the two dogs.  Diamond, our cat decides to go too.  There he
is walking two bouncing, Berners down the street, followed by a long haired
black cat.  He visits with our friend and starts back home.  As he is
approaching the house, all I can hear is his booming laughter and some
ranting about how insane everyone is.  I am now wondering if he has somehow
gone over the edge......

Apparently, on the walk home, the dogs were still bouncing, and Diamond the
cat decides to lie down in the middle of the road-2 lanes that run through
the center or our miniscule town.  Diamond is then suddenly being attacked
by blackbirds, for what reason, who knows.  There is "The Man Who Hates
Dogs", on the side of the road, with the two lunging, bouncing dogs who only
want to play with their cat who is rolling around in the middle of the road
as the birds are dive-bombing her.  Traffic is stopped in both directions.
Bruce says he just looked at everyone, shrugged and walked on.  Diamond
followed and traffic flowed again.

Waiting for the sun,
