People who live in Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana!!

Lisa K. - No problems with the weather yesterday, just lots of rain. Thanks for asking. The grass is going to start going wild! The way you do puppy litter is very interesting and smart.

We had a bunch of thunderstorms this morning. How about everyone else? Ashley, did you make it okay? It looked like the more severe storms were to the north of Cincinnati. Did my Indiana friends make it okay also?

Piccolo and I started for a walk this morning, but we did not get further than the front yard and it started raining. So we came back in, and Piccolo got a bath. I also trimmed her a little. I'm not very good at this, but I did order the DVD from the grooming person on YT, and it should be coming soon. I'll let you know if it is helpful. Did anyone else order this DVD?

Have a great Wednesday, YT friends!

Lisa glad you guys didn't get anything too severe yesterday. Yes I will be interested to see about your grooming dvd. I have heard good things about it!
Also, I wanted to tell you from earlier, I loved you and your husband's picture!! You guys look great together!

hey everyone!! We had some pretty bad storms all day yesterday through today. There was a tornado watch this morning while I was on my way to work....only to find out it was where my work was....so it was pretty scary driving to work looking around for a tornado....but I made it safely. and with no signs of a tornado....hopefully these storms are over!! I hope everyone we havent heard from yet is ok!!

[winstonw]

glad you are ok Ashley...that was too close for comfort wasn't it? Hope everybody else is same as you.

Speaking of storms, do any of your yorkies get scared in a thunderstorm? winston does not even notice if is storming! Pokey my shih tzu looks like this though and gets very nervous....he is usually the most dominant one.

Lisa K. - Thanks for the compliment about the picture.

Ashley - Glad you made it okay to work today with the storms.

We just had another bunch of thunderstorms roll through this evening. I'm getting tired of going to the basement everytime the sirens go off. But, Piccolo comes right behind me and we try to keep ourselves amused by practicing tricks. She does not get scared of storms and can sleep right through them. My other Yorkie shook everytime she heard thunder or fireworks... Probably because she was outside, one time, doing her business and lightening hit the wires going into our house above her and myself. It made us both jump a couple of feet. LOL.

We did not get hit by any bad storms, just the rain.

Jeter is very frightened by thunder storms and he has to be right up on me when we get a storm. I did have to take him outside to potty when it was sprinkling and he even seems afraid of rain drops when they hit him
Yesterday when I was taking him for a walk, he stopped walking and hunkered down when a louder car went by, and he did the same with a motorcycle too! He has never don that before Maybe that ties in with him being afraid of thunder...it's too darn loud for his taste!

I was wondering how all the New puppy owners are doing with their little ones?

The pool is filled up finally, it took a bit more than 24 hours to do it but it should be up and running tomorrow ( I haven't hooked up the filter or added the shock treatment to the water yet) I just wish that the water would be warm for the boy's to jump in and enjoy it tomorrow as it is their last day of school.

Ok so last night we found out that Zach has a ruptured bleb in his lung and that is what caused his lung to collapse....he is doing ok right now with the chest tube in and pain meds (MIL says he is mean on his meds lol) The doctors said they will have to do a major lung surgery.....they will open his chest cavity up and everything....and this scares the crap out of me. He is around 5'5" and only weighs 80 lbs....and he is almost 17. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!!

[Lisa and Pic]

Ashley- I will keep Zach in my thoughts and prayers. I've heard that a lung collapse is very painful.

Brandy - My daughter's dog is very afraid of cars, etc. When I babysit him, he can be hard to walk because of this. I just keep him moving forward on the walks. Hopefully, Jeter will outgrow this. Also, have fun in your pool. Today is the perfect day to go swimming, here. How about your weather?

Hullo everyone~
Sorry I've been away for so very long...my Dad passed away May 20th. I stayed in hospice with him for about a week beforehand. I feel ok about it though. He was a good man, and wil be sorely missed, but we did have time to reminisce and to say goodbye.
He was at Stein Hospice in Firelands Hospital in Sandusky, Ohio.
Cordell laid on his bed with him for the last two days, not even getting up when I would get up from my chair. He knew, and wanted Dad to have that comfort.
While we were there, my husband got a voice mail message from his employer here in Indiana, stating that while he understood about family and such things, his business was lacking, so he needed to lay him off. (Wasn't that nice of him?)
Anyhoo~ I have been working boatloads of overtime trying to get caught up on bills and such, and I think I have finally made a dent! Thank You, God!
We have the pool up, haven't added shock to it yet, or had the pump running (like adorame), but these silly children of mine have climbed in! LOL! I don't mind, but these old bones of mine are to apt to get cold! LOL!
DD#2 is ready to pop any day with grandchild (due June 25th they say) and DD#3 will be ready August 4th in Colorado. We want to go, but just don't see how it will be possible. Gas is rediculous around here! (Well, everywhere, I imagine.)
And before I write a book, I will go.
Hope someone comes back before too long!
Lisa~ thanks for all the cute little graphics on my page!

I just wanted to let you know that I had me and my family light a candle and pray for Zach today when we were at church. We will keep him and the rest of your family in our prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Father. Please accept my sincere condolences. It's wonderful that you were able to spend time w/ him and say your good-byes. It's so sweet that Cordell was so faithful and had such good intuition.

What a horrible thing your husband's employer did! Grrrr! Want me to go knock some sense into them? I hope things work out for the best. You know the old saying, When God closes a window, he opens a door. I hope that holds true here.

Congrats on the babies I hope everyone will be very healthy!

Chimicole - I am so sorry about your Dad. Bless little Cordell for giving him comfort.

[winstonw]

Chimicole--I am so sorry to hear about your father. Little Cordell sure is a sweetie and I'm sure that was nice for your dad.
Hope your pool is now up and running!

Adorame--How is the new pool person doing?? any questions!! I didn't have time to reply to your other thread....but you were by no means being too harsh. Isn't that just the way it goes.....you have been waiting for the fun first day opening of your pool with your own family, and then something like that has to happen...it never fails. You did fine with it, and I hope all of your are enjoying it....sure is the hot weather to be doing it in!! Our pool temp has been 92 bath water!!! It usually doesnt do this till mid July or August!!

Tatertot-hope your brother in law is doing ok right now.

Hello to everybody here!!
