Big rain, some lightning and thunder.  Over an inch of water in the dog bowl, the larger one (about three feet across and rubber) overflowing.  This last is the one Vega curls up in while lapping the rising water, a pasha in a clean clear pool.  She’ll enjoy the soft rain water, I imagine.

Back continues to ouch.  Not fun.  To think Kate has dealt with this or worse for 15 years.
