We’ve been having torrential rain for three days without a break. Snow piles are melting. Ice is disappearing into what are now raging rivers. School was delayed several hours, and the children living on North Road were given an excused absence. The bus can’t reach them. The wind is gusting. In short, it’s a mess out there.
Goats do not like to get wet. They’re bored. Chickens don’t like the wet either. They’re cooped up inside, annoyed with each other. The dogs are sulking. But, the Beast is swimming in her now much enlarged pond. At least she’s happy.
As I was cooped up (pun intended) this weekend because of rain I watched too much tv and saw what you were going through on the Weather Channel. Not fun. Have you lost any trees?
They are predicting a heavy flood season here due to all the snow up north that feeds into the Mississippi.
Haven’t lost any trees – just roads! :) I saw two cars mostly submerged at the supermarket parking lot.
My two mini schnauzers don’t like the rain either. I groomed them Friday so now those first cold raindrops landing on their back is even more uncomfortable. I keep thinking I should get them each a rain slicker, but I’m not one to dress up my dogs. If I knew they’d appreciate it maybe.
Scooter won’t go out to pee unless we carry him out and hold an umbrella for him.
That’s funny! I’ve walked mine out with an umbrella over them a few times too.
When it rains here I use an umbrella over my Chihuahua. Whenever it rains or is very cold it just seems like it takes her forever to find that perfect pee spot. Many times she smells around and goes back to the first place she smelled. By that time I’m either drenched or frozen. I love her anyway though.
When the snow gets too deep here, we have to shovel a path for him and he’s still fussy!
Terry, please explain who the “Beast”? I can not understand!
The big white Koi (Japanese fish) that lives in my pond. When I got her 6 years ago, she was 1 inch. Now she is about 16 inches long.
Obrigada!
