Life on the road

Sometimes Judy gets up at night. Last night she got up at 3:30 to go to the bathroom. That happens. Sometimes, Annie decides she has to go too, so Judy stands at the door and lets her out on the leash. Last night, that’s what happened; Annie went out too, on the leash as far as she could go, with Judy standing at the door. It took Annie quite awhile to settle down and go. She kept walking around. When she finally got done, got back inside and shook off, Judy understood why it took so long. The lawn sprinklers were on. Judy couldn’t hear them because of the noise of the ocean. She couldn’t see them in the dark. Annie was soaked, but no problem; she has her own towel. Problem is; there is a ritual that goes along with getting dried. Annie runs around the room growling and fighting the towel.

Judy was back to bed by 4:00. Annie was dry and worn out. Judy was cold and wet.
