I have pulled a whole lot of weeds this morning...wet ground makes them come out with roots.
Bella had a bad night a couple of days ago. She is such a good dog, we couldn't get made at her. Even when she tore the insulation off the water pipes in the shop and ate the pipe warmer too.

Tonight we put her in the garage, at least she didn't eat my truck...lol

Just wondering, all you quilters with animals that don't like storms, have you tried those security vests for the dogs?
Think that is what they are called. A snug vest or some sort that makes them feel more secure. We don't have that problem so don't know how they work. We are more feline infested, one canine, the noise and lightening does drive a couple of the cats into hiding if they aren't kenneled ahead of time.

And as always, if you get animals for quilting buddies and not breeding, please spay or neuter the animal to help cut down on the needless waste of life at the pounds.

They are called "Thunder shirt" of all things...hehe.
Our Bella would probably eat that too. She seems to do better in the garage where there are no windows. We have a night light in there and a fan to keep her cool. It also seems to drown out the thunder noise.

We have had a little rain over the last couple of days but it hasn't been enough to say so. I would love to have a nice steady rain all night long. It has cooled off yesterday and today and it was a wonderful night to sleep. I'm not a hot weather person anyway, but this summer has not been a lot of fun.

It's so strange to say "What a beautiful day!" when it is raining cats and dogs! LOL We've only had a couple of hard down pours each night for the past three and only for about 15 mins but every little bit helps!

We need rain so badly. Corn in firing & beans don't look the best either. Around here, the Iowa weather guage is a bottle cap. Lord, please.

We have a 4 yo rescued Shepherd Mix, Cooper, that hates the storms and has terrible seperation anxiety. We have a Thunder Shirt for him but we haven't found that it is very effective for him. He wears it proudly and doesn't try to get out of it at all. He just prefers that his security come from one of his humans as opposed to a snug cotton knit shirt. When there is thunder, fireworks or idiots shutting off guns celebrating a holiday (we live in the city limits), we just close all the blinds and turn up the TV and sit on the couch with him. Not always convenient but we rescued him not knowing his past. He obviously was neglected as he only weighed 50# and was heartworm positive. He doesn't like male strangers at all. He has lots of energy and not very good manners so we are pretty sure that his previous owners did not treat him well. We love him anyway and just take his behaviors in stride. We have had him almost a year and have been able to quell some of his obnoxious behaviors but he reverts quickly without constant training. Okay, I digressed, oops sorry! There are mixed reviews about the Thunder Shirt. Just do a google search!

I am in the NW so no problem with rain, but had quite a thunder storm this morning. One crack was very loud and close. Then this afternoon the elec. went off. I guess they were repairing what ever that bolt hit...Hope you folks back east get the rain you need...
