Well Fall is certainly here now..........rain and more rain! We just had a lovely weekend of sun and mild weather, too bad I work almost 20 hours on the weekend. Now we are back to some rain, but the nice thing is all of the grass has turned very bright green again. Washington is a very green state already, with our evergreen trees always in view, they create a beautiful contrast to the maples and other trees that provide such beautiful fall color.
Does the fall weather and rain slow down a german pinscher? I don't think so! They may run a little faster BACK to the house when it is time to go in, but the 'let's go for a run' attitude is just the same. I find it amusing to watch the dogs look at the sky sometimes when a really large flock of geese go overhead. The honking is nearly constant, impossible to ignore, but just a distraction from the good smells on the ground. The mice must be digging in a little deeper these days, too. The dogs can't seem to catch one, but there must be some pretty hot scents, you can see their bodies vibrate with excitement at times, and more than once I have had to convince them to leave a hole that was being dug. It is nice to see them using their natural talents, but quite another thing to bring home mud.
October is apple month here, too. The perfect time to pick up those apples, find a spot, and lay down to eat it at leisure---sometimes Wiley brings one back to the house. I don't mind that, if he makes a mess, the other dogs clean up the rest. One day I may name a GP 'Hoover' as they are one of the best vacuum cleaners, and if its edible, one of the dogs eats it right up!
