The Duds vs Water

Between losing power for 4 days 2 weeks ago & the 7 inches of water we received on Friday....I'm losing faith in Mother Nature.  On Saturday, Bru, I & the boys worked all day to remove water from our property.  Dudley was in & out stepping over hoses, pumps,articles left out to dry & didn't waver a bit.  He did have to be carried out the first time b/c the crawlspace door was wide open & not being a water dog - he wasn't impressed with the 3 feet we had down there!!

  Yep...there is our de-humidifier floating in the crawl which is located by my washer & dryer as you enter from the garage. At one point we had 2 hoses going @ one time.



We had @ a foot & a half of water in our yard earlier - we could not believe how fast it went down once the downpour was over.



                    Just to give you an idea of the amount :(




Bella, being a Mastiff, is a water dog & walked thru all the water with ease...





                             Dudley....not so much.



       When Festus joined him... Duds was ....what happened to my yard?????


   He did eventually get braver & began his way down the walk way. His lil legs ended up looking like 4 sticks :)



I'm sure they were all looking for a life boat to take them to dry land!  The huge heavy pot by Bella floated from the other side of the yard earlier that morning.




It's now Monday & things are still drying out - we did a lot of purging & are glad garbage day is tomorrow.  I'm sure it will look like we are moving to our neighbors!
