LOL, I think YOU are on to something Jodie! I will tell my hubby to get right to work on the ark....there are quite a few Yorkie owners around here Maybe Kimberly (txshopper) can come and join us on the ark...she lives minutes from me

As for the Giardia, it's so funny you mentioned that because I have been thinking the exact same thing. Although - Tatum hasn't even been going outside, thank goodness...as she will just JUMP in the puddles and have herself a grand 'ol time So we've had to resort to puppy pads for her until all this rain clears up, IF it ever does Stedman on the other hand, will just lift his leg off the side of the patio and shoot his little golden stream onto the grass so that he doesn't get a SPEC of rain on him LOL....he is way too much of a girly man (as my hubby says lol) to get himself all wet, he is such a big baby!! And after he's done he will run back inside as he doesn't like this yucky weather either. And of course...when it rains, he POOPS on my patio, so I am constantly having to clean that off now. Just such a big mess!

I know that most of the texans on YT are soooo tired of all this RAIN.... but look on the bright side..... It sure is pretty here because of all the rain.

When I lived in California it was always dry and dead looking. Had to water the lawn constantly just to keep it green. Yes the weather was mostly beautiful and the rainy seasons very mild,..... BUT it sure didnt look beautiful like texas and our water bill isnt anything compared to california.

Sooo when you get tired of all the texas rain... just remember when you go outside and see BEAUTY... its is really all worth it....And the money you save on your water you can buy your yorkies some new stuff.... Now isnt that WORTH IT!!!!!.....

Well when you put it that way, about being able to save money on the water bill, thus being able to buy the furkids more stuff - it makes it TOTALLY worth it!! LOL j/k....of course it really does make everything BEAUTIFUL and GREEN...and I guess it is better than everything being soooo dry I just wish it wasn't QUITE THIS miserable and that there wasn't tons and tons of standing water in my yard like there is now as I HATE having a messy looking yard - I feel like an unkept yard just makes a house look "vacant" and so, I don't know...whats the word.... TRASHY??? LOL. We SO want to go outside on mowe, BUT CAN'T! Bummer

Will the ark be sailing up to the DFW area? There's lots of YTers here! I'm sure we'd all get on board!

The rain is nice for growing things but once this thing clears out, the mosquitoes will be out in full force and I am NOT looking forward to that. We'll have West Nile next.

Ahh Kim, a hurriance and west nile...now that would just top it all off and take the cake wouldn't it? Hell, we're in TEXAS - it won't surprise me!

Oh yeah, we can definitely make a pit stop in Dallas I have an aunt that lives there anyway - and is a YORKIE owner.... I'm sure she'd be pretty PO'd if the ark didn't stop by her place to collect her and her babies lol

Keep a watch out for us girl - you can't miss us...you will see my two BRATS right at the front of the ark

Stedman will be "King of the World"! (sorry...couldn't resist )

We'll keep an eye out for the ark! Wouldn't that be a sight....a huge boat filled with Yorkies and their owners!!!

honestly. i really like it.
i mean. its just. lol. i dont know.
according to my teacher last year

"its better than living in a place like vegas, where its the same weather and same climate all year long. dont think of houston weather as dreadful, but as exciting! i mean, its like reaching into a box of cereal! or opening a happy meal! who knows what toy you'll get? well, its the same deal with the weather!"
(it was extremely funny, because although he is a wonderful teacher and really funny, his voice and attitude is quite often monotonous. and he was saying this with "excitement")

but then. houston weather does change every fifteen minutes. -____-

Ghostbar was very cool. They are on the 32nd floor ( I think) and have to balconies - one that is pretty big with a bar and lounge chairs and another smaller one that you can stand on and see to the street. I was a little nervous at first , but it was fine after I stood for a while.
