Big Fat Rain Drops, Fallin on my head

Today I was sitting out on my mom's deck in the sun, reading a novel. The sun was bright and hot. A cloud would provide a moment of cool relief from time to time. I had a big cup of water and Molly and Casey were wondering around, behaving. No one was home and neither was anyone else outside in their yards. It was perfect! It lasted about 2 hours. I got a pretty good tan. Then the time between clouds became shorter and shorter. I noticed the leaves had turned upside down, something my grandma had taught me a long time ago. As Jeremy predicted, rain was coming. I put my book down on the wood railing and looked around the yard for the dogs. None were to be found. I checked inside, there was Molly. I realized too late that I had let Casey run away...again. I slipped my flip-flops on and ran outside, calling her name. I searched for about 15 minutes, and just when the big, fat water drops began to fall, a girl came strolling down the street with the small pup on a leash. I jogged toward her, to shorten her walk, and grabbed Casey. I thanked her before we both turned in opposite directions and ran home. The rain was coming down harder and thicker. I ran around back and dropped Casey onto the grass so I could grab my book and cup on the fly. We both dove inside the house, just as the rain lightened up then stopped completely. Figures :P

(I realize this isn't particularly interesting - sorry, I'll try to pimp my game up later)

Neighbors are good friends with your dog, aren't they?

I like these... stories. Just stories about what happens to you. You and Courtney should post these often.
