Rain Soaked!

Dallas has been drenched in rain. It started raining at about 4:30 yesterday afternoon and didn't let up until around noon today. Since letting up there's been a few brief showers this afternoon. The showers will continue this evening as well. I don't mind I love the rain!

If a person was trying to sleep soundly in the Dallas area last night it wasn't in the cards! The rain pounded at times and the thunder boomed. At times the windows and building shook. Thankfully the boys have gotten used to these TX-sized storms so they no longer bark as much as they used to when these storms hit. When the storms first began the boys were a little anxious. They soon realized the storms outside were going to continue for quite awhile so just deal with it!

Early this morning both boys looked at me as if I had lost my head as I attempted to get them out of their beds. Simon was seriously hard to get out of his bed. He didn't want to move. Going potty outside in the rain didn't sound good to him. Cody wasn't all for it either but he wasn't as hard to convince as little Sime. Once the rain stopped for awhile I finally was able to take them out for a combo walk. They got their morning walk and afternoon walk at the same time. I seriously made them do both routes! Yes, I'm crazy! Yes, I'm obsessed with them getting their proper exercise! Yes, they have a lot of patience to deal with me! Oh and since that combo walk extraordinaire they've both been fast asleep. Waking up only briefly to check and make sure I'm still in my office working.

It really was quite incredible to see that much rain come down for as long as it did. The morning newspaper featured a picture of the rain water rising to hood level of parked cars. This was not a misty type of rain by no means this rain came down in buckets!
