(It rained today in Southern California...well, sort of...a little drizzle...for a little while...but it smelled so good...and my sweet dog heard it...so there!...PS...we need rain!)


Barking at the Rain

She heard it first with her ear’s inquisitive
she stood at attention thinking something new visited
eating perhaps at her cat’s bowl
stealing Deli Delight while out on a stroll.

Her sound pierced the room in sharp resound
she’s just a wee thing not your solid hound
she looked through the glass what she saw I can’t say
but when I listened like she did the rain was at play.

Martie~
This is just PERFECT ...
I got a new puppy today !
Yes, I'm a softie for the little mutts !
A co-worker got a gift of a 5 month old black and white Cocker Spaniel and couldn't keep it where she lives sooooooooooooooo
the little darling came home with me and joins ~Marge's Menagerie~

I've not yet named the sweetie, but the name
will be forthcoming before the weekend is over.

I'm glad you got a trickle of rain and tickled at this little giggle of a post.
Love n' hugs
~*Marge*~

Martie, thought you'd been talking with my dog when I saw the title...she barks at the rain all the time, and tries to bite it too.

Neat piece, my friend...all smiles here!

Absolutely superb!!! Very intuitive, playful, captivating!  Truly a gentle first rain would be so perceived!

only you have the imagination to come up with:
"when I listened like she did the rain was at play"
this line alone is priceless- - and makes my whole day

Martie, get off your hands and knees.  I never thought the day would come when I saw you on all fours.  Oh well, to play in the rain and come up with this little gem I guess we can allow you some leadway.

Well, the title got my attention, because I am
SO ready for the monsoons to start...I NEED RAIN! LOL
This is cute, Martie, and it gave me a smile today.
Hugs to you, friend...
