We all know Misha has her fears. One of them is the wind. She gets really scared when it’s crashing around.

We had a big storm push through starting Wednesday night. She did pretty good during the night. In the morning she was a bit restless. She did not want to go out in the pouring rain to do her business. I don’t blame her. I would like it either. Every time I saw her racing around the house with her ears pinned back it meant her bladder was about ready to explode.

I couldn’t take her out for her walk because it was raining too hard. So, I had to find something to distract her and to tire her out. You may not know this, but Misha is really nosy. She can’t stand a bag or box being opened in her presence. She just has to see what it is. So, I thought this would be the perfect day to put out my Christmas decorations.

Just as I predicted she could not contain herself. She was running back and forth from one crate to the next. She had to “approve” each item before it got set out.
