Woofstock! , more rain in night

Still damp out from the rain last night ... let dogs out, poor Corey has the runs ...morning run, feed and kennel, give him pumpkin ... I bet it was the apples he ate yesterday ... go inside and start getting stuff ready to take to the 'Woofstock' dog festival, husband can't come (has to work on computer for an old customer from years back) so can only take 2 dogs ( it's too much excitement for DB and Snoopy anyway if they can't 'esca[e' to the van and it'll be too hot) husband says may join me later ... brush Banshee, brush Corey, load up then leave ... very nice event, though I cant enter any classes as husband can't make it, Corey starts out over excited, barking, wont even talk to his friend the animal communicator ... but calms down after we've made a few circuits, greeted several people, AND gotten into the shade ... Banshee is very sweet and pretty today, happy as a lark, (she'd sit in the blazing sun forever, just looking at me piteously, Corey, however, 2 minutes in the sun and he's barking clearly saying 'come ON you idiot, let's go over THERE in the shade') so I guess it's for the best we dont enter any classes, all the 'rings' are in the sun ... they do have 'cooling tents' for the dogs with wading ponds and ice, several dogs do appear overcome by the heat ... watch my friends in their classes (from the shade of the pavilion), get lots of treats, buy a Tshirt, then leave before the Best in Show (and mad rush to the exit ... poor Corey has another bout of runs just as we're leaving, clean him up, then home ... husband not back yet, decide to kennel dogs while i lay down as my back is killing me and I dont dare leave Corey unattended inside ... husband gets home, let dogs out, go for very brief run, mowing ... then inside and a storm blows up, hurridly kennel dogs, Snoopy wont leave trailer, get harness and she comes right on with me, rain has started but get her kenneled and back to trailer, very nasty little storm ... slacks up, thinking maybe can go out again, fix food... another wave of rain comes in ... finally a break, I go out and feed and give essences ... make it back inside, storms continue, getting worse ...
