Whew, we finally have that silly garage sale over with. Now we can get back to blogging. We did get to meet several nice doggies & Mama even sold some doggie clothes. We weren't sure if the sale would start on last Friday morning or not cause we had that horrible rain storm on Thursday night into Friday morning. On that Tuesday we had gotten 3/4 inch of rain, on Wednesday we had 1/2 inch and by Friday morning, we had gotten another 4 inches! Yep, most areas around us also got 4 inches on that Thursday night. It was awful. Flood warnings were everywhere, many schools were closed. It rained so much that the water even flooded over our driveway in one spot & flooded everything around our ponds. We had rivers running through the yard. Here are some pics Mama took early on that Friday. This was after the storm was over, but water still kept running everywhere.
It flooded all around our fish shack:
Can you see all of the hickory nut shells that collected here? There were piles like this everywhere in the yard.
More hickory nut shells:
Of course the shells then floated into the big pond & were all at one end. We had to remove some of the rim rocks to force the nuts to wash out with the water.This is one of the rivers going through the yard:
All of the rivers merged & went passed our fence into the boy scout camp & formed a huge pond.
We feel like we live in a marsh now. When you walk on the ground, your feet squish down into the ground about 3-4 inches, it's very gross! Mama even had to search all of the rushing streams for koi that might have gotten washed out of the ponds. Luckily she didn't find any. At least the duckies like the water. Well that's all the news we have since Mama & Papa spent all weekend having the garage sale. Oh yeah, Snickers did get her blood stolen today, hehehehe! By those silly vampires at the vet's office. She's getting her thyroid levels checked & her heartworm check done. Poor me, I have to go on Wednesday, sigh......Wirey Hugs!

Wow! Your yard got totally flooded! I got rain here too but I don't think it was as much as you got. It was the thunder that bothered me. I just got my heartworm test and yearly check up done on Saturday. Must be that time of year, huh?
Woof,

we were wondering if any of the fishies would get washed away! That is SO SO much water! Sorry about the blood stealers :(
Wow! Those ponds are just gettin' bigger and bigger! It's pouring rain here at the moment right now, too. I hope some nice sunny weather comes soon!
Sparky
that's a lot of mucky water that you have and soon you will have the mud. we hope your garage sale was a success in spite of the terrible rain.
we're glad that your mom checked for missing koi. that's what we were worried about. they could float away to the boy scout camp or down river to some far away place and they wouldn't be able to get back when the rivers dry up. that would be terrible.
we hope that you will have some nicer weather soon. we see a lot of pretty spring pictures on some of the blogs - hopefully, on yours soon too!
woofs.
Oh my, not good, not good...The place looks flooded but looks like a lot of FUN! I looove floods, puddles & anything that is water. Hee! Good to hear that no Kois have been washed out. I'm sure they are okay.
Love licks,

Hi guys!
Wow - that sure is a lot of rain that you got! Hope it starts drying up quickly. Good luck to both of you on your blood tests! I had my heartworm test last week too.
Love Clover xo
I hate storms!
Butch and Snickers, what horrid weather youv'e had. Hope the sun shines on you both and all the Koi soon!
Wiry wags, Eric
MY lord lookie all that water....You must live close to KS, cuz we got like 4 inches in one day last week. Our driveway doesn't have any rock yet, so when it rains it looks like we live on a lake or something. I sure am glad you didn't lose any Koi for sure. Hope it stops raining there, or all us doggies, hamsters, and kitties are going to have to build you an ark and UPS it.
Deetz
That is a lot of water!! You might want to buy a boat if you don't already have one!
Be careful!!
