The rain started seconds (literally!) after I posted earlier.  

It seems to have stopped, for the time being at least, but of course now it's wet out.  Since I'll be gone much of the day for Sew Day I don't want to close off the dog door and "trap" Brownie inside - but sure hope he doesn't track stuff in on the nice clean floors... and carpet!  Here's hoping that the special absorbent mat right I keep right inside the dog door works as promised.

I had planned to take Brownie for a walk this morning once it got light, but since I don't want him to get all muddy that "event" has been cancelled.
