Close-Up Ready

Usually Liffey scampers along when we walk.  Sometimes she stops because some things just NEED to be smelled.  But mostly it's a pleasant stroll for both of us. 
   Not today.
   
   Today it has been raining since before dawn and for some reason known only to her the little beagle dawdled along like a toddler at a circus.  All I wanted to do was get the necessary job completed and then get back inside where it's warm and dry.  But Marlene Dietrich here was in no hurry to be anywhere for any reason.
