Running in the Rain

It has been pouring rain at the sanctuary all day, and as wonderful as it is, Jamie doesn’t seem particularly thrilled. She insisted that we go for a walk several times early this afternoon, but was deterred by the rain. I could sense her growing frustration, especially as she began tossing trolls and pieces of paper down from the playroom loft. She emphatically gestured toward the cowboy boots again, so I put them on and went to meet her at the bottom of the hill. Again, she was nowhere to be found. I went to the green house to check on her, and as soon as she saw me her eyes opened wide in excitement and she ran out onto the hill! I hurried to catch up with her, and we went for a record speed walk (with intermittent running) around the hill. There’s something exhilarating about running in the rain!

Meanwhile, Annie and Negra kept each other entertained in the playroom:

Thank you for the “run” with Jamie. It’s so great that you all cater to her needs in that way rain or shine!

Alas, I look at these at work, where we are not allowed to have the sound up on our computers. And my computer at home is dead, dead, dead. There will come a day when I will be at home with a brand new computer viewing dozens of these videos again so I can hear the sounds. That’s okay. It will be a real treat!

This one was especially nice. Looked like a perfect lazy day.
