Mischief Monday - Rain, Rain, Rain, Go Away

I am Canadian, so while complaining about the weather is a hobby and expected, we actually have some things to complain about. Since February we have had above average amounts of precipitation, and in many cases have broken records.  In May we had flooding in our area. In June we tied the record with 18 consecutive days of rain. We blew the previous record of 4 consecutive days of thunderstorms away with 8 straight days of them. On the nights we haven't had thunder, we have had fireworks.

All this rain and thunder has been very stressful for our Hailey Bug. She was coping ok. She had tried to break into the guest room as we shared last week when we were out.

This week, clearly enough was enough for her and on Thursday night, she wouldn't settle. We tried putting her in the closet which usually helps. Instead she destroyed her bed.  She could only settle once I moved from the bed to the couch. After being up for an hour I slept on the couch from 3 until my get up time at 4:40. Friday night, the Man had to move to the couch around 3 and was there until we all got up around 7:45.  For some reason once one of us is downstairs with her she settles.

There is more rain in the forecast. We are all hoping the record setting thunder is behind us and the humans can spend an entire night in their bed!
