Puppy Parasol



We have had rain in North East Texas. Lots of rain. Big-time rain. Relentless, persistent, dogged rain.

The rain, while a blessing for ryegrass and mushroom growers, has been a bit of a pain for people raising puppies. A 'potty trip' that a few weeks ago would have involved skipping merrily outside and skipping back in, now involves mats, towels, raincoats, mudboots, umbrellas, and hair dryers. All repeated eight times, every few hours.

But we have a bumper crop of mushrooms!

Of course I spend all of my time running around bent over trying to snatch them out of puppies' mouths.

Here is Amanda, with a particularly large specimen keeping the never-ending drizzle off her fur.

Notice her expression.

Perhaps a better title for this post would be, "What am I doing with this giant mushroom on my head?"
