The weather's been weird the past week - cooler than usual temperatures, high wind (40 mph) advisories, hail, heavy rain and today it's 90 degrees. A few nights ago, the dogs and Husband Bob and I were comfortably in bed when tornado sirens sounded. And sounded. And sounded. We went to the lowest level of the house which is our family room. After 30-45 minutes of sirens we got lackadaisical and Bob said he was going back to bed. I stayed down stairs but settled in on the couch. As soon as I stretched out, three dogs joined me. Brandy climbed up and laid on my feet. Annie (yes, Annie) laid across my chest and Pennie climbed up by my head. I was trapped. I couldn't move! The couch wasn't big enough for four of us. Brandy, Annie and Pennie seemed content but I was paralyzed with dogs! If I was going to get any rest I was going to have to relocate. Finally, at 1:30 a.m, I disturbed the sleeping dogs and returned to bed.
I put off taking Annie to the vet for her rabies shot because I'm embarrassed she still can't walk on a leash. Today was the day to go and Annie had to be carried in and carried out of the clinic. Other than that the appointment went well. The vet and techs who saw Annie months ago were very complimentary. They said Annie's filled out nicely and her coat is healthy and shiny. The vet and techs said they could tell Annie's become less scared. I felt like a proud parent! Sometimes I get discouraged because Annie hides in her corner for so long or because she still has accidents in the house, but when others notice her big improvements it makes me so happy for Annie. :)
