Dear Friends – THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your offers to help with the rain dance stuff here in Warrenton, Virginia yesterday when I was complaining about how dry it was and how desperate we were for some “wet stuff”. About 3:30PM I heard the rumble of (dare I say it?) THUNDER…….the sky got a bit dark…….Mom checked Doppler radar on the TV and sure enough – RAIN WAS COMING…..within ten minutes the sky opened up and it rained like mad…….it kept it up too throughout most of the evening.
RAIN!!!!!!!
RAIN!!!!
Everywhere I looked it was WET……puddles, mud…….all the usual stuff and while I haven’t yet been out this morning to get up close and personal, I’m sure I’ll have a puddle or two I can poke and play in (if Mom’s not looking of course) and who knows – maybe my elusive froggy friend I haven’t yet seen this year will be out for a stroll or a swim and I can say hi?????
Freddy my friend – where are you this year? You’re “missing in action” !
SO – thank you my friends for being so helpful……..because it worked. If you ever need me to do the Rain Dance for you – just let me know OK?
Reminders:
Tomorrow is Speedy’s Pirate Party blog hop (I think it’s a blog hop anyway)……wait until you see MY get-up – Mom helped of course!
Milou, Texas and Kitshka’s brother, has his 14th birthday pawty on the 16th which happens to be the same day that Bacon our piggy friend has HIS birthday pawty so WATCH OUT WORLD – BLOGVILLE IS PAWTYING TO THE MAX!!
Mollie and Alfie are having a logo competition over at their place – yep – they are asking for peeps who want to design a logo to submit their designs and then I think we’ll all get to vote for them! Pop over and read Alfie’s blog posting about it. Should be fun. My Three Moggies have already entered their suggested logo – put your artistic thinking caps on and design a logo!! Woot!

I can’t wait to get outside this morning, Sammy. I can see all the grass is wet, and I plan to get my white furs as wet and dirty as I can. Mom likes when I do that. She will wipe me off with paper towels when we come inside. That’s her favorite activity. Say hi to the frog for me.
Love and licks,

Hi Cupcake…..well I’m with you – it’s fun to play in the wet grass – I hope you get all wet and slippery and your Mom has to use a WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE roll of paper towels to dry you off!!

Sammy, you are so, so lucky. We were supposed to have rain yesterday, but didn’t get even one drop! It’s in the forecast today, but we are doubtful.

Hi Sammy,
Since you’re so good and successful at doing the rain dance, why don’t you come down here to Texas and do the rain dance for us, too?! We could sure use you as I tried and tried and tried till my feet were raw 😉 but no rain – at least not much.
Best regards from southern Texas,

Gosh Mr. Pit, I’d be happy to do a special rain dance JUST FOR YOU! I think I need to work on my technique just a bit because while we DID get rain, it wasn’t much. Maybe I didn’t dance long enough? Oh well, I’ll try harder next time! I think MUCH of the country is too dry – except for the poor people in Colorado who got WAY WAY too much rain!
