Crazy Crazy Day

We have an ice storm and the vets and delaying it would mean 2 weeks and that's too late. We had the expense of vet emerg. Last night we had a serious leak in our basement that flooded the landing area. We will have to remove carpets - long overdue to be replaced but not now. We will just have cement down there till we can do that. We have a guy attempting to fix the leak. We have no water. We have a back doorknob that is a specialty item that they no longer make. We could only find 1 for 600 dollars. What the hey have I done wrong? Please February go away.

Updates are going to be late. I have an issue importing files. Since corrected. My memory card had a plastic piece out of place. See what can happen when you get overwhelmed. Silly stuff gets overlooked.

The dogs love this pelting ice - yeah seriously except Charlie. The young ones think it is a delightful amount of fun.

Here is the gallery.

Tomorrow is a busy grooming day but we won't be having moments of craziness driving back and forth from the vets. We have water now. Do you know what you need water for? LOL

Dennis is sleeping. Pups are sleeping after play when they returned. I am still working on blogs with a gin and tonic - a double. hahaha I don't drink much but today I so want to jump to Saturday when we are showing off pups.

Dennis tells me the dogs had a blast. Charlie did go out after the hail stopped. Most are all over but some stay dryer under the gazebos. Best investment - honest!

I came home to most laundry being done, I am told. I have not checked. The dogs are cuddling up to Nathan in the tv room and I am blogging trying to finish the 6 that I do daily - oh boy.

Till tomorrow!

When it rains it pours ( ice pellets )...I am so sorry you have had no luck! I am not surprised that Charlie doesn't like this weather...I usually have to carry him outside for him to do his business and he always runs back to the door.

Jodi: He usually is one of the 1st to go out but not in this ice. He will use the pad though - bonus on days like today.

February 6, 2019 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Darlah - I was wondering if he ever used a pad there...we have never had one for him but it is something I regret for weather like this. I would be happy to buy some and for home! Cheers...enjoy your gin & tonic you deserve it!

He uses the pad with no issue. It helps when there are days that its just not save for them outdoors.

Darlah I can't believe everything that has happened to you at one time and you still have a sense of humour. You deserve a bottle never mind one gin and tonic. A full house of people and dogs. You guys are Amazing!!!

I am glad the water is back on. wishing you a very peaceful day tomorrow. That seems to mean no surprises. 😄
