Tongue Out - Trouble On a Tuesday - by Phod
Dear pals,
I was in Lady's good graces again when this picture was taken as we lounged outside Sunday afternoon. After a Saturday of errands and housework and a Sunday morning of yard work, it was nice to sit and enjoy the fresh air and the sounds of the never ending chainsaws as our neighbours continue to clean up storm damage.
I temporarily fell out of Lady's good graces due to an incident Thursday night. As mentioned yesterday, it was a tad stormy. At bedtime the power flickered and there is nothing more terrifying to me than flickering power.
Lady called me on the bed, and I happily came. I was very much taking up her spot in the bed (as Man snored away in his), but if she sort of wrapped her arms around me (I had my butt at her face and my head pressed into her knees), she could hold on. Lady wasn't too worried because I generally get hot and don't stay long.
Lady drifted in and out of sleep and after 2 hours in this position before really needing to move some more. My position made it impossible for her to roll over without being on the floor. She tried all the things to get me to move, but I refused. In the end, Lady gave up and moved to the couch. She did not have the best night sleep. Saturday I was not the favourite, but I don't mind, I had a great sleep!
I would do it all again to make sure I was safe.
Your pal, the bed hog apparently, Phod

Tongue Out Tuesday - Enough Of The Smooshing
Lady, while I appreciate a good belly rubbing, this hugging and smoothing is too much! Go play with Phod or read a book or something

Tongue Out Tuesday - Phod
These are some outtakes from Phod's upcoming birthday official portrait. As you can see, he was very cooperative!

Tongue Out Tuesday - When the Heat Breaks
As we mentioned yesterday, it was sweltering here last week. Finally, on Friday a storm blew though which helped break the heat.
Lady has taken Friday afternoons off for the summer. She was sitting in the driveway assembling patio furniture listening to the thunder. As the storm came closer she could hear us upset in the house so she moved inside. She got in before it poured and poured. Thunder crashed. Valium was administered. Valium was not effective as at 2:50 our power went out.
We were very upset. Lee was walking around trying to destroy things. The leash inside was tried. Finally, Lady and her Kobo ended up in the closet, Lee pressed up against the wall and Lady sitting pressed up to her. Phod was in and out, drooling on Lady. This seemed to help. Lee was able to settle, and Lady was able to lay down, squished up against Lee and have a floor nap.
The power was restored about 3.5 hours, but not until the Man had gone to get gas for the generator and started it. Seriously, the minute he clicked start, it all came on.
While it was not the most fun afternoon, we were grateful for the break in the heat. That evening Lady could wear pants and a hoodie.
