We’re a day away from the autumnal equinox and guess what? It’s raining! Sweet. Does that mean it’ll snow soon? Hm…doubtful. It’s rather balmy outside. However, the rain did bring with it a cool lightning show last night and a good washing of the streets.

Last night, Jes’ parents dropped off their dog, Zooey. He’s a German Shepherd/Malamute mix and is quite the “chicken dog”. Perhaps it was early trauma of being picked on by another more aggressive dog. Maybe it’s because he’s been living alone in a backyard all his life with very little socialization with other dogs. All I know is that he’s here with Koa, who wants to play with him really bad. Zooey doesn’t know how to handle all the attention and ends up growling or running away with his tail between his hindlegs. It’s sad really. The funny part is that I think Jes is secretly hoping that Koa will get a good beating from him. Hm…I don’t think that will happen. He’s 4 times the size of Koa but I think he’d be better off as a turtle with a shell to hide in. Well, he’ll be with us for 8 whole days so we’ll see if he grows some courage. Poor Zooey.
