Dog-sat today with this little girl - "Josie" - a miniature poodle, so black, you can't hardly take a picture of her! Friends Harris and Kit asked me to keep her while they went someplace today.  Katy would love to play with her, but she's a little skittish, and Katy comes on a little too strong, so Josie jumps up in the chair and Katy sits wagging her tail below! :)

It started raining yesterday while I was in Trinidad and continued the rest of the day, pretty much all night, and until 9:30 or so this morning.  I was told we go almost 3 inches of rain! As it does in Kansas, this brings a smile to everyone's face! La Veta has been on a strict water restriction policy ever since I've been here - no watering of any kind, no washing cars, also no fires anywhere outside, including smoking! The river is running here in the park, maybe the water situation will get better now!
