FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

June 13, 2007

It’s been raining nearly all day, and Lilly is going mad. This is Colorado not the Pacific NW. When it rains, it’s usually just part-time thing. I’m going to bundle up one more time and see if I can get her to play. But, I can’t keep this up. C’mon sun!

The other times we’ve gone out today, she’s fetched maybe 4-5 times, then given up. She’s nuts to go outside, then piddles around aimlessly. Maybe she’s just out of sorts today.

We even tried playing fetch inside, where I throw the ball through portals upstairs and she has to run up and down the stairs to get it. That doesn’t last long, and it’s noisy because she tends to bark more when we play inside.

If you have any rainy day survival tips for living with a border collie, I’m all ears.
