Ecchi is wet again
We had our second named storm today. Storm Barney. What sort of name is that for a storm? Storm names are supposed to fill us with fear and dread - make us scared of the storm. But "Barny" is cute and lovable. Barny won't harm you. Barny will roll on it's back to have it's tummy tickled!
But
this Barny soaked me to the skin and blew me halfway across the park. Not as "cute and lovable" as it's name suggested!

The flyer reminds me of a show that was on in Blackpool while I was away. It was called "The King And Queen Of Rock", and featured Elvis Presley and Freddy Mercury.
I'm guessing those were tribute acts too, because those guys are kind of hard to book nowadays!
Puppy NewsLike me, the puppy hated Barny. Had a struggle to get him out of the penthouse!
I'm trying to teach him that when I say "your choice" I mean that he can choose where we go. I think he finally got it, because today when I said "Your choice", he ran to the park's rain shelter and made it quite clear that he wanted to spend the rest of the walkie sitting in the rain shelter!
The husky however thinks we are a couple of softies - he has no problem with storms. He did not even want to wear his doggie coat (he is arthritic, so not allowed out in the rain without a coat - on health grounds) and it took me five minutes to get it on him.
The problem is that it is not just an "over the body" coat like the one he had when he was younger, it is an "all round the dog" coat, and he has to put his head through a hole to get it on. He has worked out that if he puts his nose between his front legs and keeps it there, it is absolutely impossible to get the coat on him.
In the end I had to throw the coat over him like a blanket, shove my arm down the head hole, grab his snout, and yank his head through the hole.
Not a proper way to treat an elderly husky. But "needs must when the Barny drives"!
