First week of my new roster so I had a short day today. Not long after I started work today the rain set in. By the time I got home the drizzy rain had become quite heavy and didn't look like it was going to let up any time soon. Thought I would do the right thing anyway so put on my ebay gumboots, my shower proof jacket with hood, picked up the bag of tennis balls and the ball thrower and headed down to the off lead park.
Only mad women with big dogs go out on drizzly cold overcast days. We were the only car in the off lead car park and the only ones in the off lead area. After an hour of running around after tennis balls and not seeing or greeting anothe soul Modo decided he needed a swim in the creek to finish off his training. I also realised that shower proof doesn't hold up very well after an hour in the drizzly rain. The water dripped off my hood and my shoulders were wet. By the time we both finally plodded wearily towards the car we were looking very wet and bedraggled. We climbed into the car and with the car reaking of wet dog and the windows steamed up we drove home. Modo muddy and exhausted needed a shower and blow dry before he could finally climb up on his favourite couch and let his weary muscles recover.
