Scaredy Cat

…..errr, I mean dog. 

It rained almost all day Monday, which means after Rusty (the dog) was good and soaked, he finally decided he wanted in the house.  That afternoon, we had a bit of thunder and lightening that sent Rusty running.  Addie had been asleep when Rusty finally decided to come in so she was not aware the dog was in the house.  Later that afternoon, Addie and I were in the bedroom folding laundry when Rusty let out a big yawn from the closet (his hiding place during storms).  She was sitting on the floor a few feet in front of the closet and was still unaware he was inside.  She slowly peeked into the closet only to see two glowing eyes staring back at her.  Needless to say, he scared the daylights out of her.  It took her a good twenty minutes to warm back up to him once he made it out of the closet.  It probably took her that long though because it took him twenty minutes to just make it out of the closet.  See the pictures of the guard on duty below.

  

I’m pretty sure if Addie hadn’t come along to run off the cat, he would still be locked in that closet today.  Never a dull moment in the Lacy Household with two kids, one dog, one cat, one fish, one frog and one snail.
