Stormy Nights

And stormy days come to think about it.  Sorry I haven't posted anything for a few days I can't get the computer under the sofa.  As anyone who knows me will testify I hate thunder and we've had storms pretty much every day for the last week so I've taken refuge under the sofa seeing as I'm living in an apartment and don't have stairs to hide under.  Friday was particularly noisy with storms throughout the day.  I was lucky here it was just rain and high winds but a town near by was hit by a tornado which caused quite a bit of damage.  OK so it wasn't on the scale of the big twisters in tornado alley but pretty scary for an area that doesn't usually get them.

The absolute highlight of the past week was my first visit to the dog park.  Finally a chance to get off the lead and have a bit of freedom.  It didn't look very promising when I first got there as there were only two dogs there but it soon filled up.  It was ace!  There were so many dogs I didn't know which butt to sniff first.  All the dogs were so friendly and their owners were pretty good too.  I can't remember all their names but I was particularly taken by a rescued greyhound who was ever so elegant and even more sensitive than me.  I hope I get to go again soon.

On the way back from the park I had a stark reminder that America isn't a very safe place to live.  I passed 4 police men who had their guns drawn and a 'baddie' on the floor in handcuffs. Scary stuff!
