Life is Tough for a Desert Dog, Shoulders and Triceps

It has rained everyday in the Washington DC area since we arrived three days ago. It doesn't really bother me that much, but when you are a desert dog it isn't easy. We found Ocho in the desert and he has lived in the desert for all of his life. We do make forays to other climates like our holidays in DC, but for the most part he has been used to the desert. When most of your day is spent laying in the driveway, watching for intruders and enjoying 350 days of sun a year, three days of rain is a big deal. It will be nice when the Och can get even a glimpse of the sun again.

Today's quote is from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

"Into each life some rain must fall."
