Water, water, everywhere...

We had a thunderstorm start about three o'clock this afternoon.  The dog decided she needed to go half an hour after that. 

The rain was coming down so hard that I couldn't see the house two houses down and across the street.  We had a river coming down the street, and tributaries running down my driveway and front walk.  There was about two inches of water standing in the yard.  The dog was instantly as soaked as she is when I bathe her within a minute. 

And...she decided she couldn't go pee in those conditions. 

Poor pup. 

She still hasn't been willing to go out.  Then again, while it's not still raining as hard and fast as it was, it is still raining.
