Lord, why the weatherman has to be right? What have I done to make you so mad that you put our San Diego Sun away? Would the sky stop crying if I share my favorite toy???
We were greeted by the sad sky and lots of teardrops this morning when we went out for my potty walk. There were micro rivers everywhere, and I tried to guide Nikki around them as much as I could. But it was impossible to avoid them all! Nikki squirmed every time when she stepped into puddles! STOP WHINING!!!
Nikki decided that my wearing booties and rain coat was essential for my well-being during the rainy commute! WRONG! What does she know about mighty lab, the water dog??? PLUS, we've never had a success with those stupid booties! I do fine without them, and even Keith said not to worry too much! But when your human is so determined, what a lob to do??? I let her have her way...
Needless to mention, I had a terrible time walking in those stupid things on my paws! They kept loosening. Nikki thinks it's because I walk with super high steps, which I disagree! We managed to keep all 4 booties on as far as Old Town Transit Center. On the bus, people said that I looked cute but pathetic! YES, they were 100% right; I was feeling miserable with rain & booties... I don't mind rain coat.
Then I reveled! Oh no! Not an angel dog like ME! I didn't do anything intentionally to revel! But the booties came off one by one while we were walking to the trolley! Nikki didn't realized it, and nice people were trying to get her attention. I noticed it right away and tried to stop. But Nikki gave me a big leash cue with a rushing "hop up!" So we kept going. I thought losing booties might not be a bad idea for my sake! However it didn't happen; people gathered up all 4 and caught up with us... Nikki didn't tried to put them on again though. We were in time for the trolley and got on safely.
When we got off, I led Nikki close to the building edges so we wouldn't get wet so much. You see how nice and smart I am!?!? She didn't get what I was doing at first though... It's hard to partner with a slow-thinking human...
In spite of my best efforts, we were both soaked by the time we got to the office. We should have kept a blow drier here!!! Nikki dried me with a hand towel so I didn't catch a cold. After a last chunk of baby carrot, (btw, Nikki was coaxing me with carrot bits to wear booties!) I snuggled on my fleece rug. Arrr coziness finally.....
Now it's time to go home. According to the Internet, it's not raining. YAY!!!

Oh Coral! That sounds messy! I think I like snow better than rain... but I haven't really seen rain much, so I'm not sure. I was all ready to take you up on the San Diego spring break offer, but now that I hear about all the rain and silly humans, I'm not sure! - Douglas
Coral you are quite the writer! Love it ... Pantera never liked the boots, so Cricket has never even tried them. Good luck and keep on working, good girl.
Douglas,
Yes, it was really messy! I didn't know we could have that much rain in San Diego because we were worried about not enough rain... But now, the sun's back & we're all good! So our spring break is on!!! There's still some time; I'll do my best to train the silly humans to your liking:)
Cricket, good to know that you don't wear boots at all in the snow country! See! I'm not the only one that doesn't like that stuff!
Love to You All,
Coral
Princess Coral,
Well, you are dancing around a few little raindrops? You must really be royality to be treated with such dainty little paws?
Why don't you stroll on out to Colorado here and find out what some real snow and cold weather is like! Yes, I got off the airplane and it was below zero here.
I thought maybe I had been confined to a meat locker. It might be warmer in a meat locker. Have you ever walked on 3 feet? I was going to try 2 feet, put 2 of Dad and 2 on the snow. Wow, it was cold.
But yes, I get your dance in the rain. Heh maybe you should do a movie with Gene Kelly? Princess Coral Dancing in the Rain! I can just hear the music.
I sure hope I can meet you someday. You sound like a real sweet little gal.
Heh, maybe we could RACE? Oops, don't tell Dad, he will be yelling "steady" again. That seems to be his every other command!
Lots of love from Colorado, my fellow princess!
Miss Parka, the Express!
