Dogs and Pools

Last night, just as a storm was starting, we picked up a cattle dog roaming the streets. As animal lovers we just couldn't leave him out in the storm. Bought him home and put him in the shed. We got through the storm without a peep from him. Then 11pm came - yap, whine, scratch, whine, yap.

We ended up bringing the dog in to the house and having him in our bedroom. Very little sleep - pacing, whine, yap, sleep a bit, pacing, whine, yap. A nightmare.

Emails were sent around locals to find the owner but nothing so we had to take him to vets who scanned his chip and hopefully contacted his owner.

Now to the pool. As the cover was on the dog kept falling in. Hub removed the cover so that he could see the water. This was very early in the morning and the colour was not seen until daylight.Nice eh?

Looks like we have a few days of dumping chlorine in to it and cleaning. Geeeez!

Lightning, Thunder, Hail & Everything is Off

This is a quick post for me. Very quiet on the computer as we have had it switched off and unplugged for the last couple of hours. We have had warnings of severe storms so didn't want to risk a repeat of previous events. The last storms we had we lost our Digi Box, Modem and the pool pump went tits up, all due to a power surge from the storm. We take no risks now, never, anytime, anywhere. Computer switched off and unplugged, telephones unplugged and TV and aerial switched off and unplugged. Me?? I then sit out on the deck (covered), read a book and get withdrawal symptoms from being off the computer. LOL :-)
