Last night we were anxiously awaiting Daddy's return home when our electric went out. Mama waited five minutes and then called the electric company. You see, we live in a rural area and there are only seven houses on our road. If you don't call and let them know there is a problem right away, well that just delays having it fixed. Mama then called Daddy and told him the electric was out. He said he was about ten minutes from home. After 30 minutes, Daddy was still not home. Mama called him again and he said he was at the end of our road and a tree had fallen on the electric line. The electric guy was already there, so it should be back on soon.
Scout was freaking out because her ceiling fan was not working. She thinks she can't breathe without a ceiling fan running. I thought it was hot too, but Mama said it was only 79 in the house. We then had to hear how some dogs live outside and don't have air conditioning. We hear how lucky we are all the time.
Daddy finally got home, but we still did not have electric. We greeted him, but had to control ourselves because it was so hot. Daddy has always told us that if the electric goes out, we can go to the motor home and use the generator. Did we do that? No! Daddy kept saying that it would be back on soon, so we could just wait in the house.
We waited and waited. Mama and Daddy sat out on the deck and it was nice outside. I don't sit outside unless I have the sun on me. The electric finally came back on after being off three and half hours. We were so happy to have our air conditioning, ceiling fans and TV again. We don't like roughing it at all.
Life is back to normal today. We have electric, Daddy's home and I'm feeling good. Life is good!

It's time to go Blog Hopping!
Jack, my belief is that if God had intended for Greyhounds to rough it, he would not have invented air conditioning! We were born to be the companions of royalty, for heaven's sake! I'm glad the electricity finally came back on and that you're feeling better!

Jack, I'm glad you feel better. I like the soft life too. Maggie the Vizsla.
ReplyDeleteMade it here from the blog hop. No one has AC in their houses here (it also doesn't get above 85 all that often). I think they do have AC at his dog daycare. I better not ever let him know that some people have the wonderous inventiont at HOME!

We are glad to hear that everything is finally back to normal.
ReplyDeleteWe live very rural, too, so are used to losing the electricity. But (Bunny will react in horror), we don't have air conditioning in the house. None.
ReplyDeleteShocking, huh?
