NOT A GOOD DAY!
Not a good day at all, I tell ya!
My house almost got flooded last night and early this morning. I was snoozing in my 4th nighttime location, when out on the patio there arose such a clatter, Dad & Mom arose from their bed to see what was the matter. Away to the windows they flew like a flash, tore open the blinds and threw up . . . ! Well, they didn't really throw up but they almost did because the patio drain was backing up with water at the speed of . . . well . . . a flood, coming right toward all our patio doors. They made a lot of noise scrambling out onto the patio with towels, brooms, and buckets.
Since I don't have web feet, I figured they needed me to stay inside and protect the house from all the lightening and thunder. Dad's closet especially looked in danger, so I hunkered down in there to make sure his stuff was alright. I bet that Bobama the Portuguese water dog could have helped, but Wilson the closet dog was busy protecting the back corner of Dad's closet.
So, here's the bad news: water kinda-sorta got into our house, at least the water we can see. We hope not too much though. Who knows what water is lurking in unseen places though. I'm trying to sniff it out, but finding invisible water isn't really my tracking strength. Mom & Dad have been nagging the drainage people to get out here and dig a trench or something, cuz it's gonna rain AGAIN today. Mom's got a tight mouth and Dad's sighing a lot. Aw man, I do NOT wanta go through that again. And . . . and . . . no walks today I guess. That's just great!
Here's the really bad news: Luna isn't coming! Yep, you read me right; she's not coming. Too dangerous for Debra to bring her all the way from Austin in this flood; too much mess and goings on here for Luna to visit, yada, yada, yada. I'll just bet that Luna would love to go out with me and roll in our flooded, muddy back yard. What's the problem? She'd LOVE it!!!
Well, just poop! I know I'm not 'pose to say "poop," but that's just how I feel. Not to mention I had to take one this morning with water up to my ankles. So poopdy poody poop! There!
