Weather and such

[stoutfellow]

Gracie's kind of funny about the doggie doors. She has no trouble with going out, nor with coming in if I'm not in the house. If I am, though, she'll come through the outer door, climb the steps, and stand on the table, just outside the inner door, complaining until I come and lift the flap. Sometimes she barks; today she just sort of moaned.

The weather has turned again; it's been rainy most of today, and there's a chance of snow tomorrow. (It'll warm up again Monday, though.) I wasn't able to take the dogs out for a walk today. I just chanced a grocery run; it was sprinkling very lightly when I went out, and was getting ready to pour on the return trip. The grocery run was a necessity. Hayfever has been eating me alive for the last week or so, and I was down to my last two Benadryl. (Seriously, these are the worst allergy attacks I can remember having; I've been waking up with a sore throat some days, and a couple of times my sinuses have been absolutely raw in the morning. It fades once I get up and down some Benadryl. Liquids seem to help too.)

I've been remiss in non-doggish posts lately: the last Ramble was a month ago, and I haven't done a book review in quite a while. I'll try to correct that soon.

Lody, our Collie, insisted on using the dog door (in the wall) even if the people door right beside it was open. And she would become extremely perturbed if we blocked off the dog door for some reason, or something like snow blocked the outside.

Allegies - should be disallowed! I hope you feel better. I worship at the altar of the Pink Pill during our blooming season. Yesterday, during the continuation of the Patio Project from Hell I wore a mask to avoid just such a result. Worked pretty well.
