My poor Chihuahuas are traumatized because the thunder is so damn loud and harsh (shaking the house).

My little Cairn did a big jump and bark at a clap of thunder earlier. She's sound asleep now, though.

It has calmed down some here, but it was lightening pretty bad. I am glad that has slowed too, but we always seem to lose power when there ain't shit happening!

...two of them looked at me like I was nuts and didn't even go out. The other two stood right by me, until the lightening struck, then it was straight for the door. I hate when they tremble.

I think my off key caterwauling takes their minds of the outside because they are now focused on the awful sounds coming from my mouth. Only my cat, the late Tony ( ) seemed to appreciate my singing, but he was/is my "bad kitty, baddest of the bad!" Well, Voodoo does like my singing "Sex bomb" because it means I am going after his sex bomb and it is time to play tug-o-war.

here in the UK we've had over a week of 24-26C (that's 75-79F...ten degrees Fahrenheit above normal, for the time of year) with a fair amount of humidity...which is not much fun in a country where no-one has air conditioning.

In north central Texas, we had two days that had highs in the seventies last week, and were one degree off the record night-time lows for two evenings.

Yup... opening the balcony door on a July afternoon in Texas isn't the most normal thing around here, but I certainly did enjoy it!

I think I sweated off twenty pounds that weekend. It amazes me that I used to haul hay in this weather twenty years ago.

we've gotten an inch and five eights of rain so far. Our tomato plants were on the ground, propped them up and drained water out of the pool just now. Still raining but not like it was earlier. Damn our tomatoes were looking good too until this hit
