rain, rain go away

Well, I thought the snow was the worst thing to happen.. No scooping, just ice and mess. I was wrong. The worst thing is rain. I have 15 dogs at my house if you count the puppies and the two that don't belong to me. I have no where to put them. I put two of them in the pen up at the top on Sunday when it was so beautiful.. And now they are so covered in mud they are banished up there until the spring. Everyone else is on the porch. Yesterday I thought,, should I vacuum and mop? Why in the world would I do that? It is a mess, and the puppies need to go outside and they just can't. The next three weeks should be long, dirty and smelly.. Can't wait.
