Thankful IF Thursday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! Ollie here. I'm afraid our thankfulness has to have a conditional element this week. We had monsoon-like rain again yesterday and we would be thankful IF it would stop raining! The other morning, when we went for our walk, there was deep fog everywhere!



This beautiful little manor house is right next to where Heloise was born:


It was a real pea-souper!



Here is a photo #1 took several days ago, when we had a rare sunpuddle:


Everything looks so much prettier in the sunshine!

In closing, I wanted to share this photo showing what a good boy I am! I was waiting outside the bakery as #1 went in to buy croissants:


I am thankful for my walks!

  1. Your monsoon like rain reached us through the night. It was so heavy it woke me up, and when I opened the curtains this morning the lawn was completely under water.

  2. We have similar weather here on the other side of the big pond! It is foggy here at the moment and I don't know when we will see the sun! But we follow your advice and are thankful for what we have!

  4. Well Ollie, I sure hope you were rewarded with a croissant of your own for being so well behaved. That fog sure IS deep, I must say.

  5. That little manor house looks to be a castle by our eyes. Maybe a haunted one, Ollie. Hope you get some dry and sun. We are just hot and sunny. Not normal, but rain is coming tomorrow. Maybe all the way from you!

  6. Fog is a purrfectly wonderful phenomena! Everything feels different; sound is different, and of course, you cannot see well.
    As for rain; hoping it stops!

  9. We had one of the wettest Aprils on record and are also hopeful May will be drier. You look like you were enjoying your walk. Did #1 share any of that croissant?

  13. We too have been inundated with rain. All day long today. We have our paws crossed that maybe, just maybe, it is done for the night. We love seeing you out in the fields, Ollie, fog and sun.

  16. Hi Ollie! Seeing as we are both Spaniels, I told mom we need to start reading your blog. I see you have lots of kitty sibs. I've never met a kitty before, at least not while I have lived with my new mom.
