Jackson did great. He was liking us all chilling in the living room curled around watching a movie on my laptop, haha. He didn't really seem phased by the storm until later at night when the winds REALLY picked up but he simply curled up real close to me and slept through the night. I did get him to go outside to pee around 7pm and he didn't go again until 7:15 or so the next morning, lol. I was actually hoping he'd have an accident in the house but couldn't find any. I am pretty sure he definitely held it for over 12 hours. But he did real good and not too much damage, minus the power outage of course. We had lots of big branches down and one big tree that fell (away from our house, thank goodness).
Good thing your dad has a generator. I hate when the power goes out. It's so boring not having power. No hot water either. Glad to hear Jackson wasn't really phased. I was relieved that Teddy did well too, did not panic. Max was barking at the wind after midnight (Sat), lol, and I kept telling him to go back to sleep.
