Rain, rain and more rain. Not so much falling as being ladled out of the sky onto our little corner of paradise. It flows off the ridge into the valley, transforming the mild mannered little stream into a raging torrent. Down by the mill it's burst its banks and washed away part of the the road. Bob and Sophie find all this magical. They stop and stare at the water as it rushes by. Bob,the ever on alert top dog, soon gets bored but Sophie remains rooted to the spot, completely transfixed by the sight and sound of the water. She considers chasing a pair of passing ducks but thinks better of it. Another week of downpours forecast.
To enliven their day the two angels rediscover that old puppy hood trick of eating the plaster off the walls. Finally, 'the font' lets them out in the orchard. A muddy dog better, and less expensive, than a bored one.

The font is so wise!

Dog and human alike suffer cabin fever.
Just how rickety is the rickety old farmhouse? Once the the tiles and plaster are gone will it still be standing? BTW Sophee looks beautiful even on a bad hair day and Bhub looks adorable no matter how muddy his nose.
Bored, stir crazy dogs, frightening prospect !
We love wild and wooly weather - the muddier to better. The Mum...not so much. By the way, could that possibly be a noble Cairn Terrier hanging on your wall? Or one of those....Westies.

Buzzy McDuff and the Pip
Didn't they use milk to make plaster in the 'olden days'?
Floor tiles...check! Wall plaster... check! Window sills, newel posts the corner of a couch....what next!
They certainly know how to entertain themselves.
I'm also intrigued. Who is that doggie in the picture?
I felt a moment of panic, last time Sophie was eating the wall the poor girl was very sick.
Rain rain go away so the PON's can go out to play....
We're having rain showers every day too, but no flooding.
