As I write this we're on our 4th straight day of rain. The good thing is that the ponds are finally filling up. They've been low the past few years from the drought. The other good news is that we're on relatively high ground. Otherwise we'd be scurrying around trying to build an ark! None of the dogs likes getting wet. We joke that they're so sweet they think they'll melt. At any rate, they're very depressed. One rainy day is a bummer; four rainy days in a row is... no fun! The truly good news is that tomorrow the sunshine is supposed to return. I just hope we'll recognize it!
Later today I'll be scanning some old photos of my dog, Benji, for a very special blog hop coming up this next week. Benji was my tripawd and lost a leg to the big C. I'll be blogging about our experience in the brand new Give Cancer the Paw blog hop, hosted by Jackie at Pooch Smooches and Peggy at Peggy's Pet Place.
This week also marks a very special time... Rosie's birthday! Yup, our girl will be one year old. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday that we brought her home from the animal shelter. I love that her birthday coincides with National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week.

Pit Bull Songs - Dog Song Saturday
If you missed this post, you really should fetch it. More than one barking good original song about Pit Bull dogs!
National Mule Day - Monday Mischief
I actually tried to respond to most of the comments on this post. JoAnn mentioned a mule she used for packing on their elk hunts and his nasty disposition. I'm a firm believer that "evil" mules or donkeys are made not born.
Pumpkin Streusel Muffins - Tasty Tuesday
Sometimes, when I'm sharing people food recipes, I think I should share healthy food. Then I decide that's no fun! We actually put some of these in the freezer to pull out later in November. I'll let you know how well they freeze.
Autumn Reflections Mule Style
Thanks so much for all the comments! It's one of my favorite fall photos. Jen, the pond reflection was actually a happy accident. Nope, Jodi, not framed and hung somewhere in the house, but that's a very good idea. I don't think it is weird at all that you want to hug a mule, Jackie. They're pretty cute and with their winter coats growing in, they're very soft and "plush." Definitely hugable and I've been known to do a lot of that.
