Rufo in the rain

Rufo in the rain

Good evening boys and girls how was you Halloween day??  Our day here started at 4:30 in the morning!  Our friends Zenzi and Ester came by at 5:00 and took Aimee to the airport, all three girls are headed to the IMATA conference in Atlanta.  So I am on my own again for a week, will have to start getting up earlier just to get everything done in time. 
 
Today we got hammered by a tropical downpour that dumped so much water in such a short time we had to cancel all our afternoon dolphin swims due to yucky water!  When it rains like it did today everything runs into the sea causing very poor surface water conditions!  While it was raining or should I say pouring someone inside yelled “look at poor Rufo”!  Well poor Rufo was having a blast!  He would open his mouth and drink water plus spread his wings open getting a super full body shower!!  I shot this from a window, it was raining so hard I couldn’t get near him without getting soaked.  After the rain stopped he just sat there in a daze a little bit like he was cold so I picked him up and dried him the best I could. 
 
After work I took the hound dogs on a muddy one hour walk and a fun swim in the ocean.  The ocean was like a lake tonight so the dogs had such a great time swimming and are now fast asleep!  The frogs are sure making noise tonight, it’s time for bed, talk to you tomorrow, Barry
