i knew it. it’s true. it says it on wikipedia so it must be true.

you see it all started today, when i HAD to go out to buy myself the most horrid sandwich in the world. i went unprepared and didn’t take an umbrella! oh yes, you can guess what happened next. the heavens opened and i was drowned. but in the process of being drowned, whilst gasping for breath, i thought to myself, goodness it’s raining cats and dogs. that then led to a big wondering as to where that expression came from and whether a cat or dog has ever fallen out of the sky?!? i know, i often have days like this.

so, as soon as i got back into the office, i wikipedia‘d it and found out that it’s true. animals can and have fallen from the sky! can you believe it? ok, so they use the example of fish and frogs, which don’t exactly have the same body mass as a dalmation i’ll grant you, but nonetheless i bet it’s happened somewhere! Look at this post.

now that you’re amazed, both at how i get around in my life and also the fact that cats and dogs can fall out of the sky, i’m going to leave you to enjoy reading all about it. happy thursday peeps!

p.s. it wasn’t actually really heavy rain, just enough drizzle to make your hair fuzzy beyond repair, but well it wouldn’t sound as exciting if i just wrote that would it?

p.p.s i’m sure that i’ve asked this before, but if dogs think - do they think with an accent? hmmn ponder!
