Soggy Doggy (and human)

After a few weeks off due to holidays and other commitments, the usual gang met up on Saturday to go for a walk.

Holly recognised the pre-walk preparations so knew we were going out and started to 'sing' and make 'hurry up' noises at me from about 8:30am.

When we started the walk, a there and back stroll down the side of a reservoir, the sun was just visible through a layer of clouds. By the time we got to a third of the way down it was raining, at the halfway point on the way down we stopped to put on waterproof jackets. We stopped again at the turn-round point to don waterproof trousers.

Despite the rain it was a lovely walk and Holly enjoyed herself thoroughly, however even she was glad to see the cars again as the rain had managed to work through the outer waterproof layer of her fur. It had also been heavy enough to go through some of my waterproofs so I had a few small soggy bits of clothing. When we got home Holly got a more thorough towelling off and I put most of what I was wearing into the washing machine.
