Unusual weather, even for New England.  Right at the time that we normally walk the dogs (6:00 a.m.) there was a thunderstorm complete with heavy downpours.  The dogs weren't having any of it, but we gave it the old college try (in two separate installments) and Alexis had to walk the 3/4 of a mile to where she parks her car anyway, so we're soaked.  At least it's not cold!

Charlie told me that since the river is flooding, perhaps I'd let him swim in it.  Poor guy, I wish we could spend a week doing whatever he wanted.  Swimming and sleep mostly.  Beats work any day.

Hopefully the dogs got done what they needed to, cause that's their only chance until lunch.
