Today was torrential down pour day. We were only able to sneak outside for short minutes between the cloud bursts. Shadow sat out in the patio room and stared out the windows as the rain poured down. The thunder and lightning was spectacular. The weather on TV said the storm seemed to be stalled right over Spring Hill and the dog and I could be called in as witnesses to attest to that.
I had a small sewing job and a rainy day is perfect for indoor projects. The puppy is happy to be in proximity to me. He followed me from room to room as I gathered the elements for the task at hand. I was making a sun proof cover for the spare tire on the new boat trailer. Apparently the intense sunshine eats tires and dry rots them. A cover is a pretty simple thing to make and will keep the tires useful longer.
In the garage I found a piece of sunbrella fabric in nautical blue and cut the required amount. There was a channel already sewn in the fabric that I pushed a dowel through to carry a pull cord. All this while, the dog is sitting and watching intently. As I cut the extra cord away, it dropped to the floor. He looked at me and I said, "Okay". He lunged at that fourteen inch piece of cord like his life depended on it. "Hey! A new chew TOY!" So while I finished sewing the tire cover, he played with a small piece of cordage.
When we finished in the sewing room, he proudly carried his new acquisition through the house to his crate. He gnawed on that cord for an hour, forsaking much larger bones already in his area. Someday, once I teach him to talk, I'm going to ask him what was so fascinating about that little piece of cord?
