Blustery Weather — Lessons Learned

BLUSTERY WEATHER — LESSONS LEARNED

  1. Dog house lids blowing off with big gusts of wind is a thing!!

  2. Secure all things that might blow away or you’ll be up in the wee hours chasing them down. Dogs are not fond of strange things randomly moving about.

  3. Either picking up dogs bowls &/or putting loose bowls in the side bowl will prevent you from a bowl treasure hunt during the next meal 

  4. If/when dog house lids are blowing off, it’s important to check the yard regularly.

    • Be sure no dogs are hurt

    • Be sure no dogs got their chain tangled up, like Queen Anne at 4 am, who tried to jump on the top of her house, but fell into her house because there wasn’t a lid… and then she went out the door.  The yard erupted because she was all kinds of confused.

    • Be sure wherever the lid landed isn’t in a circle where a dog decides to gnaw their stressors away on the uninvited lid.

5.  Be sure to keep an eye on propane levels before a storm.  The generator runs on propane & the power has been out for most of 3 days.  

6. Windy weather and wood stoves
