Rainy day blues

Today it rained all day and was cold.  The cold didn't bother Daisy, but the rain hampered her usual routine.

Daisy woke me up to go outside at 5:30 am as usual.  But it was raining and had been raining hard for a while as water was standing in the driveway.  She sat on the porch for a bit watching the rain and I waited for her to come back inside.  But suddenly she made a dash for the garage.  Fine. I'm going back to bed.

Tammy forgot to set the alarm and overslept by a half hour and didn't wake until almost 7 am.  When she opened the door a very wet cat came back inside who was vocal about being left outside.  Daisy even came back to the bed and stood and meowed at me for not letting her inside the house earlier.  Once she got my attention she turned around and walked off.

Sorry Daisy.  But it is cold outside and I had all the windows closed and didn't hear you earlier.

Once I got out of bed a few hours later all was forgiven as Daisy had dried off by then and had a nap on the back of the couch.  She was bummed that she couldn't go outside.  She halfheartedly played with some of her many toys but often would wandered around the house and look out various windows.



Later in the afternoon Daisy went outside. It was still raining lightly but she wandered around to check out the catnip growing by the well.  It was too wet to lay in and, after 10-15 minutes of further exploring, Daisy was back at the door ready to come inside the house.


Wet catnip.

Daisy went outside a few more times during the day even though it was wet.  Once I saw her chasing a bug through the wet grass and leaves.

Daisy... Daisy.
