Winter?

As I check the calendar this morning it says "April 9" and we are still in Tucson.  So?  Well, we woke to 42 degrees and rain.  By noon it was 34 and rain mixed with snow.  THIS IS APRIL!!! Right now, 4:20 pm, it is 37 degrees and rain.  UGH!  Yesterday we had the a/c on.  I am confused.  So is the weather.  I don't like the cold, but the rain is much, much needed.

Last Wednesday we took friends Dick and Lano to our poodle breeder and they picked up their new puppy, Misty.  She is so darn cute.  13 weeks old, black, ball of fur.  Both my poodles are okay with it, but not happy.  Their house has been invaded; by a little pest.  She won't leave Beau alone; he finally nipped at her (yes, this is my Beau) and she has learned to behave around him.  Schuster, on the other hand, had enough of the little pest and swatted her with his paw...she went rolling across the floor, got up, shook herself off and decided that wasn't fun.  The cats have both taken swats at her as well.  She will learn.  Maybe.
