We woke up very early Monday morning. In fact I think 'the Rib' didn't really ever sleep. We have been getting rain and thunderstorms since Sunday afternoon. Sunday night (early Monday morning) major rains and thunder started up. This makes 'the Rib' very nervous so she doesn't sleep much if at all. Not to mention Buster can be a nervous wreck from the thunder. We give him some over the counter natural supplements that supposedly take the edge off. It works well enough that he isn't up pacing around or jumping into the bed with us. We don't always get it to him in time.
The plan was for us to head into town early give some of my precious blood to the vampires at the doctor's office in preparation for an upcoming yearly exam. Then we would go get some breakfast since I had to be fasting. Well the weather had been severe enough that 'the Rib' didn't want to leave Buster at home alone, even though there seemed to be a break in the storms. We had had 3.5 inches over night. There is a 100% chance of more of the same for the rest of the day and most of the week. Other parts of Texas have fared even worse with as much as 20 inches.
Plans for a trip to the Padre Island National Seashore will be postponed it seems. So we will occupy ourselves with things around the house, I have some leather to work, and maybe a trip over to my parents. Then the GrandKids will be here some time Thursday.
If your getting some of this much needed rain or are out in it for some reason, please stay safe and don't do what always seems to happen with these events. Don't take that chance crossing that water just to save time.
Happy Trails

We 'only' got around 3 inches. Our dogs don't like the thunder either, but they aren't quite as nervous about it as Buster. They just get very clingy.
Typical Texas weather. We get most of our 'average' annual rainfall during two or three of these rain events every year.
Buster was much calmer this go round
