Still Raining

Climbing to the top of the steps of her window perch Molly digs herself a nest in the soft blankets makes a couple of turns lays down and looks out on another dark, windy and raining day.  Letting out a long sigh Molly wonders if the rain is ever going to stop.

Well I guess I don't have to ask Mom if we're going walking with all That rain coming down.  Molly's mood becomes almost as dark as the skies outside.  Thinking back she tries to remember the last time she got to go for a walkie.  I can't remember when I've gone on a walk or even got to play in the backyard Molly moans sadly.

Noticing Molly's long face her Mom comes over and sits in the chair by Molly's perch.  Rubbing her little girls head she says, "Molly I promise the suns going to come out and we're going to go on a nice long walk.  Just as surely as there are summer rains, the sunshine is certain to follow.

For now let's appreciate what we have while we have it.  Dad and I planted tons of roses and shrubs.  God sending the rain is like Him giving our hard work His kiss of approval.  The rains are going to help the newly planted roses  and shrubs get established and grow.  I'm sure there are gardeners everywhere giving thanks that they're not having to carry buckets of water, or drag a garden hose all over their yard to water their newly planted flowers and shrubs.

Part of being a happy pup is learning to be content with what we have.  If we spend all our time focusing on what we don't have we throw away our possible joys and blessings we have in the here and now".  Molly grumbles but Mom I'm not happy now.  I've been trapped inside forever!  Holding back a laugh at her sweet pups sad face, Molly's Mom said, "Go get your ball Molly, we can play fetch for a while.  After that you can take a nap.  You never know the sun may come out for a while and we can take a stroll down the driveway".

While running to get her ball Molly realized the simple truth in her Mom's words.  If you spend all your time wanting the things you don't have, you lose sight of the blessings that are right in front of you".  Molly gives her tail a wag and snatches up her favorite yellow squeaky ball.  Running  to her Mom dropping the ball she says "Throw it Mom!! Throw it!!

Love, Molly and my Mom  (We honestly hope you're not getting our biblical rains)

Molly Molly Molly girlfriend I hear your song and I sing with you.
WEll I don't need a walkie but my peeps really prefer to take their daily walkies outside and this week they have been stuck inside.
I'll make sure mom reads your very wise words and hope it offers her a tad of reassurance.
Hugs Madi your bffffff and mom

PS they weather geeks say parts of our county could see between 1-3" and we have a flood watch until 2 am tomorrow.
Crazy dad told mom this AM...I don't think I'll water the flowers today.

I know how you miss your walkies and fetch, Molly. But your Mom's got it right. Enjoy your blessings. You got a bunch!

Molly, there is more to life than walkies. I am glad you are learning that. There is nothing more fun than games with mom, for you and your mom. When you see her smiling that will make up for all the missing walk time.

While all these things are true it sure gets boring with one rainy day after another!

Aw, Molly, what a sweet post. I love your mom's quote. "If you spend all your time wanting the things you don't have, you lose sight of the blessings that are right in front of you".

You are so right sweet Molly, we're thankful for what we have too. It's raining like crazy here too and we're thankful we're not out in it!

I heary you Molly, it's hard to wait till the rain is over... I often run from door to door to look if maybe the weather at the front door is better than that we have at the backdoor... but it's always the same rainy dark thing ;o( but we can play inside too, the mama often hides treats in da whole house and we search them together... and I often find things the mama never hid ;o) the main thing is we are together, comes rain or hail, right?

Molly, playing games inside is fun, too. But I hope the weather will get better soon and you’ll be able to take walks, play outside and do some digging. I love your photo. You look so cute.

I've heard of people walking in the rain, but haven't tried that since I was a kid.
