I am happy to hear also that you were not in the storm.
And i was also going to post regarding other people handling your pup. Yesterday i had my 2nd puppy class with Chanel. And we actually sat in circles of 4 and switched puppies. To make your puppy comfortable with others. that way your pup is not the type to bark and growl everytime she sees a stranger.(which at times i know its good, when its a REAL stranger u know.) but you dont want her being like that when guest come to the house.
Please let us know how your situation is when you get back home. GOD i hope its ok.
