They both sat there at the kitchen table and had just finished their

Home-made breakfast seeming quite content and full.

Then Maxwell looked out the window.

"It's raining." He said.

Sandy opened the window and took a big "Hiff".

"I love the way it smells when it rains..."

Next, she stuck her paw out. She pulled it back in and gave it a lick. ".and

the way it tastes. It reminds me of my childhood."

"Really? Why's that?" Maxwell seemed very interested.

"Well," Sandy closed her eyes. "When I was very small and I saw rain for

the first time, I was like, so totally terrified and I hid in the corner of the

cage and didn't move at all. Then my dad came over to me.

'Don't be scared, Sandy' he said.

Then he patted me on the head and took me by the paw. We escaped out of

our cage and into the front yard.

I stood there and let the warm rain trickle down my face and caress my fur. I

opened my mouth and tasted the sweetness of the summer rain. I laughed

and smiled because I had never experienced anything like it before! 'see?'

he said, 'You have nothing to be afraid of!'

Then my dad and I played games and danced and laughed all day until my

owner came home.

My fur smelled like the rain for days! But then one day Hillary took Stan

and me away from the breeder's and I never saw my dad since then."

Sandy looked as if she were about to cry.

Then, Maxwell got an idea. He when over to Sandy and grabbed her by the

paw "C'mon Sandy!" he said.

"Where are you taking me?" she said with a smile as Maxwell ran out the

door with sandy still following. They went through tunnel, through, tunnel,

this way and that, and then they when up a terrifically big slope.

Finally they reached an opening. Out side was a beautiful scene: They were

on top of a hill with an amazing sunrise in the distance, and of coarse, the

rain.

Sandy stood there in a moment of awe. Every thing was so overwhelming to

take in, so many good memories. Then, like clock-work, she ran out into the

rain and started spinning around, and around, laughing and smiling, like a

music box ballerina.

Suddenly, Maxwell ran out into the rain too, and they held paws and spun

around together for a very long time.

And soon, they fell down together in pure ecstasy.

"Maxwell," Sandy said smiling, and quite out of breath. She turned her head

toward him. "I love you"

He sat up, his fur dripping wet. "I love you t.." before he could finish

Sandy leaned in and put her lips on his and they shared a very passionate,

and romantic kiss in the in the mid-summer rain...
