OMG No Power

This is the absolute worst week to be without power. We have been out since Thursday. Luckily we can heat with propane. Right now I am at a nice neighbor's house, who also has no power, but does have a generator!! Or at least I think they have no power, hard to say. I will have to listen for their generator when I leave.

Sadly we have well water, and the pump works off of electricity. So that means no water for flushing the toilets and that sort of thing, except that our nice neighbor let's us fill up so we can do those things. We are now accepting the offer of a shower.

The worst thing is that I have Gigi, the American Pit Bull Terrier (assuming that's her breed) and two labs that she has not met, Josh and Jack. Now normally the whole house would be open, and we could split up certain groups of dogs until they knew each other better. Due to the situation, it's been a bit more of a challenge last night and today. Dog willing , we will get our electricity tonight, but some people said it could be as much as five days away yesterday.

What a disaster!! We have had to become quite inventive. We almost had no propane as delivery was supposed to come Monday (tomorrow) so we had to sweat it out yesterday until about 5 PM. It was the most glorious thing to see the propane truck pull up, as we only had four gallons left. We went through nine gallons last night and today so far, so that might put it in perspective. We were sleeping in our long johns, outer layer, and jackets/hats/gloves during the evening with our three Dobermans packed around us.
