White Dog stared out of the window in disbelief as the rain continued into its second day. "This is unheard of!" she groused. "It's the Curse of the State Fair!"

The weatherman on the six o'clock news echoed White Dog's exact thoughts as he, too, blamed the rain on the Fair. I knew by her joyous "YIP!" at bedtime that the rain had finally stopped and the nightly walk was a "GO!"
