A ridgeback dilema

It rained last Friday. Rain is like poison to our particular canine companions. They'll sit at the door and act like they want to go out, but they never do. Blue might stick his head out to check things out, but his feet stay planted on the door mat. Sugar, well she takes one look at the rain and runs to the nearest bed and pretends the world does not exist. So I just leave the door open and pray the will eventually gather the courage to go the bathroom outside.

This particular rainy day drove Blueberry mad. You see, sir has appointed himself Lord of the Backyard. It is his domain. Anything amiss and Blue is on the case. Every night, he charges back to one of the bushes trying to catch some critter that has dared to make his home in sir's yard. Every morning, he strolls around and pees on every bush so the critters know who's boss. So, when I opened up the door and Blue saw this guy standing on our neighbor's roof you can imagine his frustration.
