Puppies and Weather

What I saw during the Perseid meteor shower last week:


That's right, nothing.

This may be the Burrito's Halloween costume if I don't have a better idea.


Matching onesie and pants. He could be a green bean. :) Or, tack on a tail and he could be a dinosaur.

It rained last week, which we needed.

Not sure we needed the humidity that came afterwards, though, since it was already 100 degrees all week.

We went to visit my parents this weekend, and El Burrito met his puppy again.



We decided she didn't look like a Beans, so her name is Lexi (or Lexie). Need to decide on the spelling and get her a collar.


They're 75% beagle, 25% bassett, although Suzie (50% bassett) looks more like a beagle. Her sister is Sadie, and her brothers are Henry, Sanford, and no-name-yet (I suggested Sherman). Sadie and Sanford are staying with my brother. Henry is living with a cousin - the life of Riley, apparently Henry prefers the house at 74 degrees. (Heck, our house isn't that cool. I keep it at 80 during the day, and still gripe about the electric bill.) No-name-yet really shows his bassett side, he's got ears you wouldn't believe.



El Burrito also got to go swimming in his inflatable pool on the back deck, with a bunch of off-balance duckies.


And it rained while we were there, which made Grandpa and Uncle very happy. They'd lost two cows and a calf this month (lightning and a freak accident), so a needed rain was a nice change.
