Rufus likes to walk in the rain. His wool takes a long time to dry, and can become musty. I do try to cut it short, but then he feels cold....
My family had gardens for all of the generations that I knew about, back into the 1880s at least. When I was around five years old, they had me...
Raining here with snow predicted. Plus I've been a bit under the weather. A hen died of unknown causes, I suspect an impacted egg. I buried her...

@Doghouse Riley, it sounds like storms must be headed your way.
