Rainy Days
This weekend was pretty rainy and gloomy here in FL. Which, surprisingly, made for a good weekend. All the pressure of getting out and doing yard work and getting the grass cut was eliminated by the rain and we just took some time to relax on Sunday. We even baked cookies on Sunday (something we haven’t done in years). They were warm and tasty and we munched on them while watching the Redskins get blown away by the Patriots.
The pugs seemed to enjoy the downtime. Although, Benjamin & Luna were not happy about getting their paws wet on several occasions this weekend.
We also worked on putting the finishing touches on Benjamin, Henry & Luna’s Halloween Costumes. The boys’ costumes needed to be taken in at a few places, so they had the tough task of standing still while we measured, nipped and tucked. Henry did a good job, but this type of thing is nearly impossible for Benjamin. After he was released from captivity, he ran around the sofa for about ten minutes getting all of that energy that we stifled out of his system.
While the rain here was much needed, I kept thinking that our friends in California could use the rain way more than we could. I hope all the blog readers in Southern California are doing well and please know that we are thinking about you.

Thank you for your kind words of concern. Fortunately, my husband, Marshall, Rocky, Adrian and I were far, far away from the fires and not at all affected. However, our hearts go out to all those who were directly affected and had to evacuate their homes or lost their homes completely to the flames. And last, but certainly not least, let us not forget all of the poor, scared and helpless animals who were also affected, some of whom had to be left behind or even lost their lives trying to escape from the fires. Let’s all hold on tightly to our precious babies and keep them safe and out of harm’s way.
