Afternoon my friends. Ma is ober her snit spell. It does seem that the manager ob da bank turned da wiring ob moneys ober to an underling, and dat underling did not send da wire til Moneyday. Ma called da mortgage company to checks on fings and day said dey needed more bikkie monies. Dat is when Ma blew herbs cork and it was not pretty at all. She was on da phone with da branch manager ob da bank. Hims was not a nice man at first telling Ma a story tryin to cober for hims ninny underling. Ma reminded hims ob his comments to herbs on Sattonday, and told him don't hims remember that Ma wanted written documentation about da wire. And while hims was grovelin as hims greymatter cells started remembering, da mortgage peeps called again. Ma put dem on a conference call so dey could not play da games with herbs any more, and dey worked out dat the bank was in error and dey refunded da wire fee and coughed up da additional interest payment that needed to be paid so the mortgage company could send da cleared deed out. Whew! Dat was a lot ob secretary work. Me readed a little and had a good laugh. Whiskey wants hims daddyman, Charlie and Zorro to take a bath with Miss Cynthia to all get a bath together??? TMI....... Ma is startin a pile of travel stuff. Sure hope there will be room for us to ride in comfort and not be crowded. Us houndies habs our standards. Habs good naps eberybody! Abby back in supervisory mode

Grrrrrrr! Ma just let out da most horrific noise. She on da phone and yellin, screamin and kicken dem walls. Me gonna hide! Abby scared ob Ma

Boy forlebenty pages since eye last visited wif me friends. That is just so wrong. Beka, YAY!!!!! Keep kicken dat which should be neber mentioned to da curb for good!! You are a brave and special houndie! Adom, you is getting better too! Yippie! CA is getting a new tattoo too. And you gots to make a pointment months in advance?? Guess dat is da new way ob healf care for humans. Me thinks you got lots ob reasons for dreamin up your design. But da poison ibey makes me itch just thinkin about it. And, dat Rob needs a whoopin for tryin to run your life. You sound so happy and free now. Yeah for you! Enjoy dem birdies in your bath. We gots to think how to do up our new yard someday. You got piccies ob da bathin ob da finch? Patsy, you is berry brave too. Facin da surgehurry for dat lumpectomy. Heal fast so you can wash your hair soonest! Drat and double darn. Me missed out on celebrating Ivy’s beautiful birfday. Sure hope you celebrated and got lots of cookies and cake. You are so spoiled and deserbing ob it all! Gino, hope dem squirms is gone from your innards. Mayhaps you might need to quit eatin bugs for a bit, just sayin. Hi Miss Jenny! Is Molly still in da witless protection program again. Eye don’t see much tic tic from herbs. And more cars getting adopted for our humans to chauffer around us houndies. Enjoy all da nice rides eberybody!!! Oh yeah, don’t forgets to get dem nice stickers for da windows to advertise da houndie lubs to all. Johnny, you did ask for rain. Me don’t remember ifn you had details when it was to be delibered. Sorry, me just wanted to share. Quick, get da smellin salz for Merc, him is passed out from lubs again! Look out don’t trip ober him humans. Well, da bank don a bad thing on Friday. Dey took da day off for rain. But guess what, it did not rain! Silly humans. Ma was so mad after driben to da bank so she could pay off da loan on our new house and dey was closed. Dey did open on Satonday and she asked for da bank manager and gibbed him an earful for costin us more bikkiie monies cause ob da delay in payin off da loan. Since it was Satonday when da wire went out, ifn dey charge us more bikkie monies cause dey did not process it til moneyday, da bank will hear from herbs again. Also, we got to visit da tire store. Da score is four tires with nails in the last 4 months. Da last two houses across da street got der grass and bushes installed this last week, so hopefully all dem bad nail droppin humans will mobe on to another subdivision soon. Ma bought da fix it free warranty when she bought da new tires, so she is gettin herbs money's worth rite now. And, we is down to just a few more boxes to unpack and dat will all be done. Ma still has to go buy one more piece ob furniture before she does that, so it may have to wait til after our trips. Me is makin a list for Mountain Hounds. Tiny just watches for now. She don't know about trabelin yet. Libs and learn my sissie. Well, dis is a noble, so better quits and go see ifn eye can steal herbs kibbles. Lubs to all my friends! Abby

Running frew again. Boy houwdie dis is gettin old. Ma has spent days and dayss doin papers to change all da stuff from da old house to da new one. It is payin off as some results is startin to fill up da mail slot. Da rainy rains is still happenin day after day here. Da back yard was getting too high for da old lady to find our packages. Then, da make it shorter guy just got here and so da lady willbe able to find stuff again. Drat, it was getting fun to watch herbs search. And hims lefted without gettin paid this time. What is up with dat??? Hada, youze famous! Me gonna habs to get your pawtograph. Can you beliebe dat weze is just a couple weeks from da greyt meet up with our friends. Ma ordered us new fancy collars and Miss Ducky is prsonally gonna coronate us when we see herbs. Oh boy, crowned!!! Miss CA gots a new ride? Dat is so nice and pretty color. We is berry partial to red. Da parkin lot at Mountain Hounds is gonna be a sea ob reds. Is you gonna get a new sticker for da new ride? It is real neat to look down on da lot and see all da houndie stickers on all da rides. Atom and WBSB is you feelin better yet? Tiny is doin much better on herbs drugs.

Just runnin frew again. So much to do and so little time rite now. Before me forgets, some ob you was wanting to know what you could do here is da linky to da Tattoo Times ob our group with da stories and linkies ifn you is interested. http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Healing-thoughts-for-all-affected-by-Harvey------.html?soid=1102697249127&aid=TpHjfXvwa5I Da house fix it guys is comin soon and gonna start puttin da house back together. First is to rip out da rock on da exterior walls ob my boodooior and fix da OSB sheeting dat got damaged in da flood. When dat is done, fix all da inside walls. Den we wait til da flooring company gets un-backordered to put da new floor down. Den we will need to start puttin back all da stuff that has been dissappearing into boxes so it can be mobed out ob da way for da flooring peeps. Oh yeah, momma decided to leabs me again. Herbs gott toted out da door in da middle ob da nite again. Dis has gots to stop. Dem parra-medics and sherrif guy refused to let me out ob jail when dey stole my momma. Eye was a good girl and did not hab any accidents before eye was rescued. But sheesh, momma lefted me pee pee pads for a reason, just dem emergency peeps refused to let me at em. Sheesharoni!!! Anywho, she is back home and we is back together. Just a relapse, overdoing it and stress. The cat scan showed excess inflammation at the site of the hernia repair, so got to rest more, and suck it up. Momma, you don't let me tic tic much, eye is so behind, and now you is stealin my time...Harrrumph. eye gonna go sulk Take dis momma, CLICK.........

Runnin frew, cause eye gots tickles in my towsies. Did not habs ability to communicate yesterday. But we is back today. Yesterday, late, we had a few rays ob sunnyshine come out. Momma would not let me go sunbaf cause she said dat da yard was still deep muck. Last night and dis mornin we gots more rains, but it is da backside ob da storm so dey is light. More nusence dan anythin else. Harvey is strikin more habboc about ninetyleben miles to da east now. Der is houndie rescues ober der, and we is hopin dey is all gonna be safe. Dat area is called Beaumont. Ifn you gots any more good mojo to send out, start finkin ob dem folks too. Dey is gonna need da help. Momma sposed to go for herbs surgehurry cheeckup, and cannot find out if da office is open or if da feeder roads to get der is open. She did check da webbysite this morning,, and it is two days old. Foooooey! How dat spose to help. Don't get me wrong, it is berry important to concentrate on da harder hit areas, but we is needing info in our areas too. Just sayin. Oh funny story time: We is berry lucky in our kennel dat da kennelmaster Robby, libes with dem houndies. Well, weneber der was a break and hims could get some houndies outside to stretch der leggies, hims done it. One ob da girlie girl houndies took adbantage ob Robby, who is ob senior persuasion, and refused to let hims take herbs back inside. She ran, played, jumped and spun all ober one ob da yards just outside ob hims reach. She is a playful girl and me would gibs anythin to habs a video ob herbs tauntin Robby. Da visual is just too funny knowin Robby. Hims is so greyhound saavy to get bested by a houndie! Hope you can enjoy da story too! Eye cannot say how much it meant for all my friends to hold my paw and momma's hand as we faced this nasty storm. You all are da bestest. Don't want to tie up da interwebby, need to share so someone else can tell der family HI! Dottie

Weatver report from Texas Last night was da worst so far. Windy blowin gusts to firtyleben mph, sheets ob rains, and a liddle funderboomers. Nothin sever, it just is not stoppin. Today, da bulls eye is concentratin on our neck ob da woods. Houston is gettin a break so dey can get dem peeps and pets out. Still gots power, but da cell coberage keeps commin and going. Our webby serbice depends on wifi. FYI--der is some folks across da country that ain't gots nuthin better to do than complain "EVACUATION" issue. Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S. No one could have known that parts of town that have never flooded in the last 100 years would flood now. So get off your high horse, roll up your sleebes and volunteer, open dat wallet, or just shut up and thank your lucky stars you are not in the thick of it. Sorry for the rant, but it just rubs my furs da wrong way sometimes. Me is gettin better at pottying in da rain. Eye still don't like it, but it could be worse. Da neighbors cows up da road, is bawlin and mooing and carryin on dis morning. Guess dey is unhappy dat der salad fixins is soggy in da dressin ob wadders. Oh, funny story. Anyone wants to hear??? Last night, dem froggies has decided to hold a concert to attract some girl froggies. Da racket dey made at times was so loud dat it drowned out da rainy rain and wind noises. Who would habs thunk dat froggies can make so much noise. Sheesh, how is a girl houndie sposed to get any beauty naps. Better send dis before we is cut off da interwebs again. Bye all, Dottie

Morning to all my friends. Well, it is still kind ob dark, but me thinks it is morning. Da timer thingy on da wall is pointing da big hand to 12 and da liddle hand to 9. Da rainy rains is comin down in buckets now. Eye was a determined girlie last night and refused to go out in da deluge. And eye could just not bring myownself to potty in da house eben do momma said eye could. Me finally just runned out pottied and runned back in. Momma met me with a wonderful fluffy towel. Now eye is just chilaxzin listening to da storm rage. Momma is watchin da news when eber it is on between da signal disruption. Dem folks down in Houston is really floatin. Oh, der is a neighborhood down der called Friendswood. Some ob my group hounds libs der. Parts dem folks is up on der roofs cause da wadders is so deep. Da policemans boats habs runned out ob fuel a couple times, and now Texas proud peeps are wadin frew da watters bringin fibe gallon jugs ob fuel to da policemans so dey can keep pullin folks offa dem houses. It is just so nice to see da policemans and folks ob all races gettin along in peace and helpfulness for a change. We habs had about twelbe to fifteenlebenty inces ob rainy rain so far, and dey is now talkin dat der will be maybe that much more just today. There is a possible chance dat der will be eben more dan dat. Dat is lots ob waders. We is drainin pretty good. Da highway folks must habs got da drain open at da bottom ob da hill cause da lake der is not berry high rite now. Da lights is flickerin once in a while, but mostly dey is stayin on. Momma is happy bout dat. This PM we is to be expectin funderboomers and more whirly freats ob wind. Dat is just not fun for my nerbes. Oh oh, da lights if lickerin pretty good, so better send dis before da lectricty goes out for good. Fanks for da lubs and good wishes. We is habbin da bestest ob friends in you all. Dottie trying to be brabe so JJ will be proud ob me

Well it did not last, da bad stuffs is here now. Eye and momma are mobin into da indoor cabe. Whirly winds and seber funderboomers is here now. So momma says eye can hide in dignity.

Checkin in from soggy souf east Texas. Der habs been no more funder boomers since dat one boom last night. But da drip drip drippity drip outside keeps comin down. Der is no urgency here yet. Eye ate my breakie and now eye is tucked in on my snuggly bed. Da tv keeps comin and goin out. Da cell coverage is going off and on. Da piccies from Rockport and Ft. Bend County areas looks so bad. But dat is a more dan hundred and fifftylebeen miles from here. We is just getting dem feeder bands as da storm rotates around so far. Bye for now Dottie so far A-OK.

First feeder band is coming through right now, Just before it started, Momma tried to make me go potty but eye showed herbs. No way, no how me gonna get my furs damp. Oh da windy stuffs is blowin way down where da old kennel used to be. So glad da houndies don't libes down der anymore. Dis gonna be a long PM and ebening. Oh, da neighbor man came ober and brought another 5 gallon ob gas for da generator. he said hims would be abailable to lift da big jug when it was needed to keep da generator ready to go wheneber momma pushes da button. Me lubs my neighbors. Momma keeps watchin da weaver stuff to see da progress. Herbs is saying dat some peeps isso stupid. On one ob da barrier islands, da people is complainin dat da mayors did not order a bacuation. And now it is too late, der is no gas for dem to puts in der cars to leabes. Duh. You libs right smack in da danger zone, and you habs to be told tomake preppies or leabes? Just not da brightest bulb in dat gene pool. Oh, der is a funder boomer, gotta run and hide. Dottie da chicken

Well, momma habs done eberythin she can think ob. Dis misser harvey storm is blowing up big and fast. Hims is gonna be a meany pants to dis part ob Texas. Eye will try to be brabe, but a storm dat will last for days and days and days. Dey is now talking about up to firtysixlebenty inches ob rain before it is moving on. Eye gonna need water wings me thinks. Momma called da state highway folks to report dat da wader culbert dat goes under da highway is clogged, and hopefully dey will get it unclogged so da waders will not back up too high on da south side. Da good news on dat side ob my yard is dat ifn it clog stays and da wadder backs up, den da altitude ob da highway is lower than where da house sits. So no back up to da house, but da state highway will be oberrunned with wadders and possible wash out ob da highway. Dat means no body will go wizzing past. All da moldy carpet was remobed yesterday so we is down to just da bare concrete. Ifn eye habs an accident it will be easy to clean up. Whew!!! Also momma will puts down lots ob pee pee pads, just in case. Eye is afeared ob storms so much. She has put up lots ob baby gates and hexpen pannels to keeps me out ob most ob da house. Herbs puts my sole surbibing huge bed in da big closet so ifn da whirly winds happen, we can habs a safe room dat is in da center ob da house. Momma also got herbs a weaver radio dat you got to crank for juice to keep abreast ob da storm status. And she gots a portable battery for da cell phone to plug in and get more juice. Eye sure hopes da lectricity don't die, but da last hurrycane da lectricity was out almost a week. On da house issue, more damage was uncobered . So puttin my house back together is gonna take months now. Da UnServePro peeps lefted wet insulation sit for almost a month in da walls dey refused to open up and it ruint da outside wall OhEssBee sheeting, it is just coming all unglued. Dey will habs to remobe da rocks from da outside ob da house to fix it. We are talking about maybe fortylebentyfoots worth ob rock siding. That is gonna be tough. Dey habs to fix da outside ob da house before dey will fix da inside ob da house. Momma is trying to crawl into a hole and pull it in behind herbs rite now, and eye gots my pawsies full holding herbs back. Eye may not habs a putor to talk much during da storm, but will try as long as eye can to stay in touch. All my friends are just da best in der suggestions. Fanks from da bottom ob my gynormous heart to each ob you. See you all on da other side! Dottie gonna bite dat harvey guy Eye may not habs a putor to talk, but will try as long as eye can to stay in touch. All my friends are just da best in der suggestions. Fanks from da bottom ob my gynormous heart to each ob you.

Dottie momma here. Question to all the techno experts.... What should I buy to run my cell phone when the power goes out. We are expecting a tropical storm beginning Friday. I have a generator, but since the storm is expected to last up to 5 days with up to 16" of rain, I may not be able to keep it running that long. Suggestions appreciated.
