I'm singing in the rain

Okay. So there's no rain.  And I'm not singing.  But my dogs are!

If you're feeling a little glum today, check out this video of Cailey and Travis singing when our house phone rings.




Funny story.

The first time I learned about Cailey and Travis's beautiful singing voices, I was taking a shower.  I was home alone on a warm summer day and, since Cai and Trav have a tendency to get into some trouble when we're not looking, I decided to shower with the bathroom door open so I could keep an eye on them.

As usual, the two pups settled down on the rug in front of the bathtub with a deep sigh.  I dumped way too much shampoo on my hair.

Suddenly, both dogs jumped up in alert and bolted out of the bathroom and into the hallway.  I tensed up.  Then I heard the horrible howling that sounded like someone was pulling my dogs apart limb by limb.  Panicking, I jumped out of the shower, soaking wet, with shampoo in my hair, squinting through the soapiness, and ran into the hallway.

Now I have no idea what I was thinking.  Maybe I thought that the sadistic burglar ripping my dogs' limbs apart would take one look at me in my birthday suit with soap in my hair and bolt.  Maybe I wasn't thinking at all.

But I didn't find a burglar.  I found my dogs.  Sitting in the hallway, staring at the ringing phone, singing.
