Just mud. Lots of it. And a wet dog. And a multitude of wet, muddy children.
Dogs and kids don't really mind the rain, or the mud. In fact, they seem to rather prefer it. Border collies in particular were bred to be all-weather dogs; they are supposed to be able to work outside in the elements all day. Their coats that are pretty water repellant. Fly was perfectly happy to be outside in the pouring rain earlier today. We only brought her back inside so they neighbors don't think we're dog abusers.
Matt is trying to lure Fly back to the house after her evening romp in the field. You can see the big streaks of rain falling down. Fly, however, does not particularly
want to be lured back to the house, and she's no fool. Trying to catch a border collie before she's good and ready to be caught is a lesson in futility.
