Hello Pals,
This is a sorta Wordless Wednesday, because we wanted to give everyone a quick post-Hurricane Sandy update.
The good news is that we are all OK and have no damage. We were very lucky, and I never want to go through a storm like that again. The bad news is we have been without power since the night of the storm on Oct. 29. We do have hot water, and are sharing a generator which we use to heat the house for a few hours during the day and to keep the fridge cold, because with the gas issues, you can’t run it all the time. What we are worried about is the storm expected today. Since we have no power, our sump pump isn’t working and the basement floods when it rains.
They say we should get power back hopefully on Friday, but if not then, it will be another week. We are very happy we have a house to be cold in — many others near us were not as fortunate.
The power outage has made for some cute photos of Toby that I’ve been sharing on our various social networks, because I take at least one a day.
Here are a few of my favorites:
(I’m posting directly from my phone so hopefully they all work!)
Thank dog you have no damage but I sure hope you get your power soon. Toby looks so cute and warm in his blankets.
Stay safe!
Thanks, Carma! 🙂
Our paws are crossed, hoping you get power soon! We're supposed to have ours back by Friday too! We're very thankful that's our only problem! Your pictures are great, Toby looks like he's had enough!
Yes, Toby is absolutely over this no power thing. It's really hard to complain though since others have it a lot worse. Hope you get yours back soon, too!
Those are cute photos. I'm so glad you guys are OK. Hopefully the storm today won't be too bad. Take care!
Sweet photos! So glad you're alright, but hoping your power comes back on SOON and that the storm does no more damage!
Glad you are OK and hope the power is back up and running again soon. Stay safe!
Hope that you get your power back soon, thank goodness that you are all safe and wagging! Wagging Wordless Wednesday

Thanks, Ruby! 🙂
Those are some great pictures! It's good to hear from you.
Thanks. We are hoping to start posting again more soon. There have been some professional changes in my life, which will influence what we write about — but we will still be writing. I need to do a post on that sometime very soon.
Oh the snuggles! So glad y'all are safe. Hoping with you that Friday is the day!
Thanks, Flea!
Hi, Toby. We're so happy you're safe. We hope you get power back in your house soon. In the mean time, we love your cute snuggly photos. Happy Wednesday.
Oh gosh! Poor Toby looks so cold. Here's hoping the power is on soon!

I feel for you guys. We had a really bad wind storm here in Seattle 5 years ago or so. I was without power for two weeks. I hope you fair well in the second storm and your power turns back on soon.
Hope by the time you read this, you're power is back on. Flooding is so awful! Sending lots of good thoughts your way.
Poor guys (though I know its changed since this post yet I am so far behind on commenting)
