Mom was so bored yesterday, that I think she gave us the run of the house and we could do what ever we wanted today. Well, until we got our baths. Uncle P came over and I was so excited to see him. Mom said it was like I hadn't seen him in a long time, but I think that baby is taking her brain juice too, because we just saw him yesterday. Anyway, I am always excited to see him, he plays with us and runs with us in the yard, but I don't think I'll be as excited next time he comes over. HE GAVE ME A BATH!!!!! Mom's friends have been saying that I smell like a dog. DUH! I am a dog and I figured since Dad gave me a hair cut last night, he would have cut all of the stank off of me. So I got a bath, Cora did too! I do smell pretty good.
After our bath Mom and Uncle P started playing guitar hero on the X-box. It is fun to watch and listen to the play. Mom was saying that the baby must have liked some of the songs, because she was dancing in her tummy. That must be really weird. I wonder if she was doing ballet, or tap, maybe she was head banging 'cause they were playing some rock and roll. After a while Mom and Uncle "P" took a break and Cora and I started to jam. We got tired pretty fast. Must have been water logged from the baths, cause we fell asleep with the guitars in our paws. 
I little while later some of Mom's basketball players came to visit here too, and they took the guitars away from us, but I didn't mind, because one of them spoils me and gives me a back massage the whole time. So I go to sit with her. They all said I looked handsome with my new hair cut too. It was a fun day with all of the visitors, and I think Mom enjoyed it too.
Oh yeah, Cora told me to tell you about the puppies that came to visit too. They were BABIES, and I mean big babies. They cried every time I tried to play with them. Oh well, they were smaller than me and they seemed kind of young, but I had fun playing with someone other than my bigger older sister.
I think Mom enjoyed having some puppies around too. I guess they were kind of cute!

The kids kept me sane from all of the noises outside, and Dad stayed out in the garage with the guys and Mom and the ladies played cards and did puzzles. The next day after the hurricane passed, we went home. Everything looked fine. The ditches had water in them, but we weren't too worried. Then the rain came..... the water rose 2 feet in 4 hours. It happened so fast, that there was not much we could do. 
The cars were parked up on an incline in the yard, and Mom and Dad loaded us up in the truck and we went to stay with more friends. The water didn't get into the house which we are all grateful for, but it was an eye opener. 
The mud and sugar cane stalks were all over. 
It had been enough. Dad stayed home and cleaned up his shop and the car port, but we had enough. That rain shouldn't have flooded us that easily, so we contacted our Parish (county) councilman and they came out this afternoon and cut down the brush in the ditches. Hopefully this will help keep the water flowing, so we don't have anymore trouble. At least for a simple rain.
