Oh the weather outside was frightful…but rain in California is delightful. We are so grateful for (count them!) two storm systems this week, moving through our drought-dried state. While it dumped in buckets, it was still very manageable (for most of us…sorry little bee!).
The walkers who braved it today were rewarded with a brief blast of sunshine by the end.
And of course, dogs!
This is pre-El Nino cheer bringing hope to our thirsty state.
The weekend also delivered on the hopes of five of our dogs. Our ”going homes” include Booker – who is the perfect foil to his new human, Mark.
Talk about mugging it up for the camera.
Charlie got the thumbs-up from gorgeous alum Goldie to come home and stay with her (and to shed a few pounds!)
Babe couldn’t wait to get in the car and go (not that she didn’t appreciate her time with us!)
And Precious and Lexi. These two came to us when their person could no longer care for them. I hope it brings them comfort knowing they will be in good and happy hands.
Dogs going home. A kennel that is half empty. The garden nearly put to bed for the winter. And rain.
The perfect way to end a weekend.
Gardens For Goldens 
Always happy to hear of Goldens going to their new forever homes! Other dogs, too, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Goldens.
Also glad you finally got some rain!
It was a very happy weekend!
Hopeful story; wonderful images.
Wonderful news on so many levels! Delightful rain, happy dogs going to happy homes. Always a joy to visit!
Always happy to have you. 🙂
So happy for you!! We are getting a few drips!
I hope El Nino delivers for all of us. These are still typical winter storms. Paws crossed!
Lovely words and photos, as always. Thanks, Audrey!!
Thank you, Lynn.
Perfect, indeed! So nice to see smiling faces. And to hear about all your rain. Delightful indeed. And to round out the weekend good news, it’s raining here in Los Angeles right NOW! 🙂
Looks like you might be in for more next weekend, as well! Yeah for rain. 🙂
Great report on all counts. May the dogs continue to find homes and let it rain!
Yes. And Yes!
Oh my – rain and happy ever after homes for so many. What a great week for you guys. 🙂
And more in the forecast (rain…and adoptions, we hope!)
Glad you guys got a much needed drink.
Thanks, Will!
Certainly much to be grateful for. Who knew a “half empty” anything would bring such joy? Cheers for these blessings!
What a great way to begin my week! Thanks for the post.
Thanks for visiting. 🙂
