For those that didn't know, I finally named my puppy. Her name is Scout. She is one cute little one if I do say so myself. One big ball of energy. She has been a great companion over the past few months and loves all the new friends she has met at the dog park and when traveling to New York in March.
Summer time in Florida is always the same. Super hot, humid and uncomfortable. Not to mention the daily thunderstorms around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Well, today we had a doozey. I'm talking major power outage, fallen limbs everywhere, flooding, etc. To make things worse, the storms have been ongoing into the evening. In fact, right now we are getting some crazy lightning.
I busted out of my office and ran the short distance to my car to head home only to get completely soaked. When I got home this afternoon I immediately went to let Scout out of her cage. As soon as I hit the doorway to the laundry room where I kee her crate I was bombarded with an unpleasant smell. She peed in her crate. Scout layed there curled up shaking in the back corner of her crate. It was pitiful. I knew instantly that the thunder and lightning had scared her. Poor thing.
I gave her a quick bath and now she is sitting on my chest as I lay on the couch typing this. I dried her off as much as possible but she still is shivering like it is 20 below. Five minutes ago she was running circles around my apartment as fast as she could, which is her normal post bath routine. As of now the thunder and lightning isn't bothering her but I am positive it is because I am home with her. Damn she is cute!
