Today Sparta and I got caught in one of those sudden, short, heavy summer rainshowers. We had just rounded the block and were almost home, when .... PLUSH! We were pelted with raindrops big enough to blind a person.
Neither of us loves being caught in the rain. But the flip side of the coin is that after we get in the house, Puppykins gets to enjoy one of the things that makes life worth licking: the "Rubdown." Which is actually just him getting toweled off with one of the mangier towels in the house. But to our dog, it is an exquisite luxury, a cause for near-hysteria. Once he sees the towel in your hand, he will charge at you from across the room, all 60 pounds of him, and throw his body headfirst into yours, rolling and writhing on the floor in anticipation of the ecstasy that is getting rubbed with a mangy towel.
The pictures don't quite capture the ecstasy (I had to wait until all the rolling and flipping was done before I could get a hold of the camera), but here you go:
And..... what is that round protuberance sneaking into the bottom of the picture? Why, its the first world wide photo published of The Bump!
