The Morning After - A Follow-Up with Pumpkin the Yorkie


Good morning Pumpkin. Can you tell us what is happening this morning?
Delaware Governor has lifted the Level 2 driving restriction today at 8:30AM. Roadways are still closed in flooded area of Milford, and evacuation area still closed. They are not allowing anyone into this area, not even the owners until all is more secure. There are wires down and etc.

How is your Mom?
Mom got out to the drug store for her leg is swelling from doing too much. I stayed home to keep an eye on things while she went out.

Your mom has a business in the basement – Was there any damage?
No damage.  She is very thankful for that there was no damage to her inventory, equipment.  While mom checked things out I was able to burn off a little energy, so I ran back and forth around the many rooms of the basement, and ran up and down the all 15 steps too.

Have you been in contact with any other pets in your area?
Yes, my aunt called to check in on us and let us talk to her son, Ethan and Bentrix, their English Springer.  Ethan told me that “B” that’s short for Bentrix was down in their new playroom in the basement check out the house during the storm last night.  Suddenly B started barking and growling. Well my aunt came running down the steps to check on kids and why the dog was barking.  B had found a SNAKE in the basement- well that totally freaked my aunt out.  Well, Ethan started laughing - for the Snake was a fake.  He has freaked them both out.   Not bad for a 3 year old.  I had to chuckle myself – mom is a clown you know, so he is showing great clown humor side.
That is a great story Pumpkin – I am sure in times like these – a little humor is great. Did they receive any damage from the storm?
Yes, they did get damage in the sunroom roof leaking and trees down, so B the dog was on high alert to secure her home safety.
You are sounding a little tired, how are you feeling Pumpkin?
I am exhausted from yesterday and all the barking I had to do protecting my home from Sandy the Super Storm. I still have not eaten and I have been resting in my favorite spot the sunroom today. I wish we would have sun and that this rain will stop. Mom is still a little worried about of next tide levels. I can sense her fears and anxiety; these storm are hard on her, I knew something was wrong but not sure what or why.

Well I hope things are ok for tomorrow, I know you enjoy Halloween.
Well we will not have Halloween Treat or Trick for safety reasons, this year, but mom said she will take me to the Local Pet Store in Costume tomorrow if they open. I really need a good run, and outing.  

Thanks for giving us an update Pumpkin.  I hope we can hear more from you in the future – Do you have anything coming up that in the near future?

As a matter of fact, I will get to go to Assist Living Next month for a caring clown visit.  I don’t know who loves these visits more, me or the residents.

That is great; I can’t wait to check back in with you Pumpkin. Tell your mom we are glad everything is ok, and hope you get out tomorrow.
