Not good around here. I got a chance to hike in two of my local stopping grounds today and they're both bone dry. The rain we got on Wed didn't do a thing to improve the situation and i'm worried both for the wildlife and about wildfires. I heard recently that we're more than 12" behind on rainfall totals this year.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
