I loved this comment, Wendy.  I have one of the world's least spooky Arabs
but when we lived in Alexandria where it actually rained every winter, I had
to spend at least 2 weeks after the first good rain teaching her that
monsters of the deep didn't live in puddles.  After 2 weeks she was
splashing through with the best of them (lousy drainage at the stable/club)
and in fact would adjust her trot to be able to splash herself (and me!) in
the face at each stride....just like kids in Wellies.
