Denver's weather was doing it's usual job of only dealing in extremes today. Bright sunshine in the morning, and then just after lunch, torrential rain like you wouldn't believe (unless you lived here), and a seriously loud, and impressive thunderstorm.

It was right over the house, and Miles and Saoirse started to freak out. They don't mind thunderstorms in general, and are in fact, quite happy to go out on the porch and watch them, as long as they're not right over the house, and therefore really loud.

So suddenly, I have nearly 200lbs of doggies, all trying to climb into my lap.

Thankfully, part of the deal with the extreme weather we have here, is that it never lasts all that long (rain never more than about half an hour to an hour, for example), and so the storm settled, enabling me to go out to my afternoon's appointment.
