If you want to, you can hire me to end any drought. I am a rain woman. I can affect the climate; I can make it pour if you'd like.

All I have to do is make a grooming appointment for my two Golden Retrievers and the heavens open up and the deluge begins.

This is an example of irony at its best.

They will prance out of the groomers looking like show dogs, silky and spotless with brand new bandannas around their necks and as soon as they get home they will roll in the mud like the swine they truly are.

I will have maybe 5 minutes at reveling in their clean, beautiful coats when all hell will break loose.

This does not happen just once in a while, it happens every time I make an appointment to have them groomed. It doesn't matter what the weather experts say, it will rain, pour actually.

I'm bringing my camera this time and taking a few shots before they turn into slobs again.

Hi MB!

Isn't it weird how that happens?

With us, it's getting a car wash..every single time we do, it rains! It happened to us this morning!! They predicted NO RAIN!
We got the car washed. It POURED immediately!

Ha!!

I look forward to seeing photos of the two beauties before the rain!!

Have a great weekend!

Just have it done on a whim when its sunny and a gorgeous day.

Also Im wondering how this couldnt qualify as proof of divine power?

Canopener...even if I make an appointment in the morning on a sunny day, by the time I pick them up it's raining. (They have to stay all day because it takes that long for them to dry.)

As for divine powers...I don't believe in the supernatural in any form. I sometimes wish I did because I'd really like Santa Claus to visit me again...he was there so often when I was a child.

If it is not supernatural than how can it rain on your dogs everytime?
