It just so happened my crew of foster puppies that I’m caring for woke unreasonably early this morning. My husband and I looked at each other and shook our heads. We knew they weren’t going back to sleep. We had to throw on our clothes and begin the process of carrying them downstairs and outside. I listened for the rain. The forecast called for a wet day. I was nervous. Nine dogs, seven of which are puppies, and rain can make for a challenging morning.
