Last Tuesday, we had a bit of a freezing rain storm. Around 10 pm the power went out. Lady was in bed asleep and was very confused to be woken up by the sounds of us trying to get into the bedroom and Man making a fire. She got up, got her phone and set it as an alarm. The peeps have a device free bedroom, except the Kobo is occasionally allowed, and have an old school alarm clock.

The Man decided to sleep on the couch so he could keep the fire going.
Around 1:30 am the power came back on. The Man moved back to bed. The rest of the night it flickered on and off.
As you may know, I hate when the power goes out. While Hailey settled in the first 30 minutes, I spent the whole night pacing around, on and off the bed. Because we have a laminate flooring in the bedroom, Lady said it sounded like I was tap dancing all night.
Needless to say, we were all very tired in the morning and while some of us had to work, some of us spent the entire day sleeping.

I laughed long and hard about the tap dancing dog on wood floors, I can tell you that dogs tap dancing on ceramic tile is enough to wake the dead. Beau even makes noise pacing on carpet. sorry for the loss sleep except of course the non workers in the house
ReplyDeleteI know it's not nice, but sometimes, when I am up all night with a pup, I want to awaken him when I see him counting sheep the next day!
ReplyDeletethat is scary for us pets when the power acts up... we hope it stay now and you have a warm and bright crib...
ReplyDeleteIt's no fun to have a sleepless night but we're glad you finally got some rest, Phod.
ReplyDeleteIt's so stressful to lose your power at any time but when it's freezing out, it's 87 thousand times worse and we're so glad they didn't make you wait too long.
ReplyDeletePhod I'm with you about the noises when the power goes out. Our Bose radio in the bedroom makes funny noises, then when it tries come back on lots of groaning flickers.
ReplyDeleteWeird thing is we woke up on Saturday morning the microwave and oven clocks were blinking and the furnace had not warmed the use up to 70 by 6 am. Lo and Behold power was out WHY no clue.
Weather was fine etc.
Hugs cecilia
We have a generator that we can use to keep the power on for most of the house. Sometimes we get ice or wind storms that can knock out power for days here is WNY. Hope things are back to normal for you pups.
ReplyDeletePoor Phoddy...we are so glad that you, at least, got to sleep in the next day!
