Wow, it is really raining today... the rain has been so scarce this summer I'd almost forgotten it was possible, so it is undoubtedly needed. Unfortunately getting damp revives the faint smell Gunnar has retained since his recent skunking to a pretty unpleasant level... as if wet dog wasn't unpleasant enough to start with. Lucky for him, he has personality, which, as Jules Winnfield points out, "goes a long way."
