Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Crikey, that's a lot of water on the roads in your photos... glad it missed you this time. Ours stopped about lunchtime, I had to dodge some pretty big puddles on the way to work but nothing like that!!! Glad you escaped with only a little damage xx

Sharlene: So glad the storm missed you. It did hit us in Nashville, TN. Probably not the same storm. We lost half of a Bradford Pear tree and all the technology stuff went off and the telephones, but we can live with that. Everything is back on now except my security camera and I cannot get it back for some reason, but that is a small thing compared to others in the area. Stay dry. Love, JoAnne

So glad that you and Molly are getting some walks in, stay dry!!

Hi Sharlene and Molly-We had over 2" of rain yesterday and I haven't been able to get outside to check the rain gauge today but I'm guessing it was 4" or better. It poured all day long. Fortunately the Town came through at the beginning of summer with Rotor Rooter and blew out all the drain pipes and it has made quite a difference in how water is drained away in our neighborhood. There are still areas with major problems and we still had flooding, but nothing like last years' flooding. By this evening most of it had drained back down. We had water running down the street at a rate like I've never seen before. That's a good thing. It had to be going somewhere.

Sharlene-I probably asked this before, but what breed of dog is Molly? She is so very cute!! And how old is she? How did you get her? I could probably find that if I read back far enough in your thread.....but I figured I'd ask, first. :)

Hugs!

Hi Susan :)

We had the extreme rain on Monday. Not fun for a lot of people. Yep, they had the canoes out there. One of the GO trains was flooded and the people had to be rescued by boat. It took hours and hours. Two people I know were on that train and removed by boat.
I'm really glad to hear that things went better this year with the flooding situation where you are at.
Molly is we think a cross of shih tzu and llahso. She was a rescue from Quebec. She was 11 months old, terrified little girl when we got her, over 9 years ago. Now she is a fiesty little thing that loves to be home best of all and with us, her pack. She's very much our baby. :)

Stay dry!!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene:
Canoes? Oh my goodness, what an ordeal those people went thru. Hope your weather is going to get better. All this extreme weather all over the globe makes you wonder why they made fun of Al Gore with his global warming. Have a good weekend with Miss Molly. Blessings

Hi Sharlene
Hope your weather has turned a little more summery but without the horrible high temps I have been reading about! Hope your having a nice weekend and Molly is continuing to get her way!! She has such a talent for getting her thoughts across to you :) xxx

Hi Sharlene,
Just dropping in to check on the princess and her mom. I hope all is well. Have you dried out from all the rain? You probably should get get busy building that ark, so it'll be ready the next time. I'm sure that your husband would like to organize a weekend project!:eek: Big hugs,

Sharlene:
I have all the animals if you have the wood! We better get busy.
Blessings

We had some thunderstorms roll through on Friday, but it hit cottage country the hardest this time. Hubby said that there were a lot of branches down on his way home from work. The good thing is that it came in, rolled through and left our area. Not sure if he wants to take on an Ark project, pretty sure he doesn't, but if this is the weather pattern going forward, then might need to. :eek:

It is going to take a long time for some people to get cleaned up from the flooding mess. Several basements were completely ruined in the city, especially on our end of town. You can see tons and tons of furniture and carpet, drywall have been pulled out of homes and now everywhere you look it seems that renovation and carpentry crew trucks are pulled up and hard at work. Two in friends homes within sight of our house, so I consider us to have been very lucky. :(

Now we have lovely sunshine and some north winds so low humidity. Just perfect. Till Monday, then we get more humid for a couple days. I hope that made it down to Ohio and New York and you guys cooled off a bit. :cool:

Since it was such great weather yesterday we have been outside. Molly is good with this kind of weather, without the humidity, and loves to sun herself on the patio, so I'll be giving her plenty of outdoor time yesterday and today. :p

Molly has become pretty demanding lately and I think it's because the humidity has kept her cooped up in the house too much. She doesn't want me outside at all without her, so even if I am doing something in the front yard, I have to put her on the leash and bring her with me or she cries the entire time I'm outside and runs back and forth scratching at the door. I don't let her off leash out the front at all. She is not trustworthy and I won't take chances with her. The back yard is good, she can run and carry on all she wants, but again, there is an in ground pool so she isn't allowed to be out there without someone with her. Then if she gets tired of being outside and wants in, she thinks that I need to come in too. We are having a battle of the wills here I think.

Thanks for checking in on us :)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
