We had a thunderstorm last night from about 7:15pm - 8:30pm.  It totally caught me by surprise.  I was at dinner, had on flip flops (not a good choice) and I'd parked far away from the restaurant.  At 7:45, I decided to make a run for it b/c Sparky was outside and I was worried about her.  I should carry an extra pair of shoes in my car.  The towels in my car did come in handy. :) Sparky- she was in the screened porch, was dry but ready to come in the house.  I fed her dinner and loved on her.  Your power must've blinked b/c the a few of the clocks were flashing but you had power.  She was fine this morning.  I fed her, she went zooming outside and I fed the fish too.

Back to last night:  My house:  decided to run by my house and change.  It was pouring, thundering and lightning so trying to get the dogs I needed to see to go outside was going to be useless until this storm let up a little bit.  I couldn't get internet at the restaurant so I couldn't pull up the weather to see when this storm was going to pass.  I would also check the radar when I got home.... well no I wouldn't b/c I didn't have power.  Ugh!

Jay & Chloe - you had power.  Yea.... pet sitting in the dark isn't fun so I was happy that your lights were on!  It was still raining and lightning occasionally but no thunder so Jay was fine to go out, pee and play ball.  I played with her again this morning and fed them both and scooped Chloe's box.  I gave her some canned food this morning too so she was very happy!

Scoobie - You had power last night too although clocks are flashing at your house.  Scoobie was just fine.  It started to rain a little harder while we were out walking last night but the lightning had stopped. :)  We took a  nice walk this morning.  He did lots of sniffing and he peed and pooped too.  He'd eaten all of his dinner from last night.  I fed him breakfast.

Hadley & Ollie - You had power too and I was tempted to stay the night at your house in the a/c! :)  However, I knew my boys wouldn't be happy if I did that and it was good that I went home.  Both my dogs were pretty nervous b/c of the storm and I think Sam our yellow was just hot with no a/c and no fan going.  Your boys are doing just fine.  Last night they didn't seem to mind the weather at all (it had stopped raining) so I tossed the ball for Ollie a few times and rubbed Hadley's head. :)  This morning someone had left a small present for me on the rug in the dining room.  (It was very easy to clean up.)  I played ball with Ollie and I left them outside to enjoy this nice morning.
