Lots and lots of Rain

We were up really late last night as the storms just kept roaring in all night.  Allana left the house at 5:30 a.m. for work, but she was back in less than 10 minutes as the water was over the road.  While she was all stressed out about not getting into work, I totally enjoyed Dan and her at home all day!  It was like a Saturday except they didn't go anywhere or run any errands!

Allana made 4 different attempts to go to work today but she came back each time.  Dan only tried once and came back.  I think he is the smart one.  Tonight they both headed out in the truck to see if the water had dropped enough as Allana is determined to get to work tomorrow and they found the High Water barricaded up yet all the vehicles were going around.  I'm pretty sure drivers are not allowed to do that.

I hope Allana stays home tomorrow, but she has her clothes set out for tomorrow already.

New Champion here at Atwater

Star finished her championship today!  I thought that was pretty impressive as she is still pretty young and doesn't have as much fur as I do.  Allana was at work so Dan had to take her to the show today and he must have done well as he got that last point!  I'm still way better than her though as I have my Canadian Championship, a herding title and several agility titles so she has a long way to catch up to me.  With that being said, I'm still pretty proud of her.  She's pretty good to have around.  :)

School!

I love going to school with Allana.  Today was awesome!  I got to go to her school and visit with kids.  There is one boy that really, really likes me.  When he gets his work done, he gets to come and see me and today he even took me out for a little walk.  It was great.  He is the best kid ever and I wish I could go to school and work with him every day.

Miracles do happen

Some of you may remember my friend "Stitch".  Today was a scary day for Stitch's owner, Craig, as Stitch went missing this morning.  Craig's house is on the market and someone left one of the gates open so Stitch took himself for a walk.  Many of the sheltie club people went to help Craig look for Stitch and Dan and Allana printed up flyers and went to help as well.  Allana told me that when she went to go into the store to put a flyer up, a priest was on the way out and noticed the flyer and told Allana he would say a prayer to St. Francis.  Allana got back in Margaret's van and they started to drive back through the neighborhood when they saw Dan and Sita out walking looking for Stitch. At that very second, Allana's phone rang and it was Craig calling and Stitch was back home. 

Thank you St. Francis for answering our prayers to get Stitch back home safe and sound.

Rain Rain Go Away

O.K., I know that Texas is in a drought so I should be thankful for the rain, but my life changes with rain.  I don't like getting wet, but Dan still insisted on me going out in the rain this morning to do my business.  Everything was underwater!  It just kept raining all day.  The pool is now overflowing and the covered dog run looks like it is a swimming pool too.   I was worried when Dan and Allana went out for lunch as they said the barriers were up by the side of the road because if it rains anymore the road to our house will be closed.  Now, I think responsible parents would not have even gone out if it was raining if there was a chance of the road closing.  They did come back from lunch, but then Allana went to go to a conference and Dan went to get groceries.  What if Dan doesn't come back?  I could starve.  He can keep eating canned soup for a week if he needed too....

I'm glad Dan made it back home and we can just watch some football together tonight.

Feeling pretty jealous

I'm feeling a little jealous tonight.  Dan and Allana went to Houston this weekend to take Star to a show and took the puppies and Suri.  I just found out that Suri got to stay with Auntie Laura!  I always get to stay with Auntie Laura as I'm her favorite!  I can't believe she got to go and I got left at home.  I do like spending the weekend with our dog nanny, Nathalie, but I really like going to Auntie Laura's!

I'm also getting a little jealous of not going to the shows anymore.  Star is just not taking this show thing seriously.  While she did win today and picked up another 3 points she is still short 2 points for her championship.  She needs to take it more seriously.  I have proof too as she was sleeping on the grooming table instead of getting herself prepared for the ring!

These young dog just don't know how good they have it!
