Lacey got to see snow last Christmas. It snowed for the first time in 15 years here. Her little paws did not want to touch the cold snow. Lacey did not like the rain, cold or thunder. When ever it would thunder, she would bark like crazy.
It has been a rough hurricane season. We got Katrina, but luckily since we are 60 miles southwest of New Orleans, we were on her weaker side. But, we still got winds in excess of 80 mph. Power out for 3 days. And tons of trees down. Lacey died on June 30th this year, so she was gone before any of these storms. We evacuated for Katrina. First time we ever evacuated for a hurricane threat. Then, we had Rita which hit 180 miles to our west, but we still got sustained tropical storm force winds. Some gusts clocked at 80 mph. and it did knock out our power for a few hours. And the storm surge flooded the southern part of my parish (Terrebonne) and almost everyone lost their homes due to flooding. Luckily I live in the northern part of Terrebonne. I hope everyone in the path of Wilma will be safe and hold your yorkies close. Most animals are terrified of bad weather. When I had my chihihihua she used to pant in bad weather. |
