S.A.D.



In the Flathead we all know a term called 'SAD' or Seasonal Affect Disorder. Because from November - March of any given year - there are about 20 days of actual sunshine for the whole day.

And it's been gloomy lately - with the very late sunrises and early sunsets...we don't actually see the sun - we can just drive for about 9 hours with out our headlights on.

Today the sun was shining for most of the day. I didn't leave the house - busy with home projects...but my dog Lady - took full advantage. Every time I walked through the dining room - she was laying in a different spot. She followed the 'sun patch' on the carpet and was soaking up all the rays she could. My Sheltie - Fluffy - followed her - only not the full laying out...more like she was on standby waiting for Lady to escort her outside.

Maybe Lady suffers from SAD too...just a thought.
