Thread: Storms strike again

We had a doozy of a storm last night! The lightning was close, and I kept listening for the fire sirens to race by our house. Loud and close, both night and day, as the torrential rain comes down.

So I am awake for about half then night on a Magic Fingers mattress without depositing any quarters. My little 20-pounder turns from devil into shrinking violet. At least a shaking violet. He spent half the night shaking his little docked-tailed patootie and panting his throat dry. So we miss out on our valuable sleep, and what does he do? He wakes me up early as his throat is so dry with all of his panting, and he needs his water in the kitchen. Then breakfast will be served.

Putting water in the bathroom is a consideration, but he is getting old and his bladder is notlike it used to be, rather like mine. I restrict it throught the night.

The other night with the thunder, he parked himself between Mr. Bananas and myself in the living room. We, the amused, see how Mr. Bananas misses having the children around. He was comforting the dog and talking to him more during that bout. :-)
