Hi All; I hope everyone will be safe during Irene and that you have heeded the warnings and are prepared. They are saying were I am in NJ that the rain might be only 3 to 5 inches, but we are not taking any changes. Rec Room furniture being raised off the floor and the four dogs that have indoor runs in the dog room will spend the night upstairs tomorrow. Any have plenty of water in jugs as we have a well, so no power, no water and losing power will most likely happen with all the trees around here. We are up high, but I have neighbors up higher and we always get it coming off the mountain. My 3 older ones, who are the two GSD 9 and 11 and the 10 year old Lab have been driving me crazy all day, very clingy, which is not like them. I think they sense that something is going on. Please everyone stay safe. Cathy Kelstar fmurch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx EarthLink Revolves Around You. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
