Tuesday April 5

Power had gone off around 3 AM during the terrible storm, back on 630. Went out, morning run, dogs all very eager to get out, check property, all looks OK, feed and kennel, go to work, food bank, then return lunchtime to pick up dogs for pet therapy ... all are inside. Brush Corey and Banshee, turn on coffee, get ready to leave ... the power is off. Alert husband (who is sleeping, exhausted from last night) then load dogs into van, go to therapy ... good group today, several new folks (and dogs) ...  finish therapy, let other dogs out for brief walk, then load up again, head for downtown Gardens ... husband calls, power still not on. Walk in pairs (Corey and Snoopy, Banshee and DB), little boy is entranced by Corey ... load up again, go to Pet Smart, walk in pairs, several dogs there today, DB is delighted by a little poodle ... Corey mouthy as usual, if you dont keep moving ... greet several children, one child runs up behind Snoopy and pulls her tail, Snoopy behaves very well, just runs behind me while I attempt to explain to the child this is NOT how to greet a dog ... buy some treats, return home ... power still out. Call power company again ... go for evening run, can't mow as belt has slipped... neighbor in back says her power is now on, return to trailer, its getting dark ... no power (we are on a different line) husband calls power company. Feed and kennel. Power never comes on, husband starts calling news. Finally just go to bed. No power, and it is cold, down to freezing tonight.
