We have had 5 wind/rain storms in the last 6 days. If the wind blows around here, the power goes out.
Well, my Daisy (the fearless? pitbull) is scared to death of the power going out. When the lights go out, she runs out the doggie door and sits in the middle of the backyard in the wind and rain, with all the trees swaying over her head and refuses to come inside.
Well Annie, the Black lab, is a good Big Sister. She won't leave her little sister sit out in the rain alone. But, Annie preferrs her comforts of the house so she will sit outside and bark like crazy until we get Daisy inside.
Getting Daisy inside involves chasing and cornering her in the yard (rain, wind, falling branches).
So, last night, about an hour into my sleep, the power goes out. So there I am in my jammies and shoes, chasing Daisy through the yard to get her inside so that Annie will be quiet and Daisy will be safe.
Get the dogs inside. It took an hour to settle Daisy down enough so that I could go back to sleep. Then, an hour later, the power goes back on and that scares Daisy just as much as when it goes off.
And the rain/wind is going to continue for the next couple of days. Uhg....
