dog walking and cat sitting on Tues 8/9/11

Big storm last night with lots of wind, rain, lightning and some thunder.  (Not a ton of thunder and lightning strikes so it wasn't too noisy but definitely wind and rain for about an hour or so.)  Well..... the power went out at Gaylord, Finnegan, Madison and Murphy's houses.  I know it was out at Gaylord's house b/c I was there when it was out and I saw one of Madison's neighbors this morning who told me it was out for about 6 hours at your house last night.  It was back on this morning.  Big tree down in one of my neighbor's yard but we didn't lose power.  No damage at anyone's houses... just some limbs down (nothing big.) Finnegan Monday afternoon when he was happy b/c it wasnt storming!

Gaylord and his favorite toy... at least its been the favorite this week.  I found it on your bed this morning.  Mustve been his security last night!

Gaylord & Finnegan - they didn't want to go out last night but we did.  I'm standing there with a flashlight in the rain and Finnegan finally follows me down in the to the grass to pee.  I could tell that Gaylord had to pee too but he stood there and waited for Finney to finish before he peed on the same exact spot.  Really?  Couldn't they have peed at the same time to limit our time outside in the pouring rain?  Silly boys!  (I'm kidding but it was kind of funny that he waited b/c he DID NOT want to be outside.  Seems like he would've peed as fast as possible to get back inside...guess i don't  think like a dog!)

Scooby - Scooby had power last night and he didn't seem to mind the rain either.  It wasn't raining too hard when I was there.  We took a quick walk so he could pee and poop and of course he peed and pooped again this morning too.

Murphy - making certain he gets it all!

Madison & Murphy - I gave them some lovin' this morning when I came in before I fed them b/c once I feed them, they are both nose down in the plate!!
