(From Diesel's perspective)
Remember the part of the Wizard of Oz where the wicked witch was afraid of water because she would melt? Well, that would describe the "leader" of our herd, Eddie.
Right..... he is the leader.....leader of the herd......the dominent one......big Kahuna........but, the secret is out......
HE HATES THE RAIN -- HE HATES TO GET WET -- HE GETS UPSET WHEN IT THUNDERS -- HIS THINKING IS: WHERE IS MY STALL, LET ME COME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I know that I have supposedly been through a lot - being left in that big wooded lot and all. But, if only my new family understood that it probably made me a wee bit braver. So, I was okay, pretty lonely, but I made it through. "Cuz here I am, in my new home that I love ('cuz man do they give good treats!)
Anyway, I learned that rain, wind, snow and all that other good stuff isn't too bad. But, my family seems to think we should all be safe and dry in our stalls when it is pouring out. We do get lots of hay and we are all together - so it isn't too bad.
But come on people!!!!!
It is just a little bit 'o water! WE WILL NOT MELT! I assure you, I have tried it.
Scout just is happy hanging wherever the gang is; but man, Eddie is the king of wimps when it comes to rain!
Me, I was a pretty cranky camper yesterday and this morning since we had to be in and I made sure my new family knew it. I was pawing, jumping up, and make a general ruckus to let them know that I REALLY CAN PUT UP WITH THE RAIN.
So, I know that "they" know I am just fine in the rain and mud; but somehow I don't think that things are going to change when it rains. "They" want us safe and dry. And I guess that is okay. I will get used to it. I know it is just because they love us.
BUT....... I think I am the leader during the rainy days. Now I just have to get Eddie to believe it and my new family.
Stay dry until next time!
