Dylan spends most time with his mom, but not Dewi. And today that's not a good thing - bad weather [View all]

We are in for thunderstorms and some might be heavy. Dewi is napping on the deck. If I take him to the fence line so he can join Tabby and his siblings, he will just turn around and run after me.

I decided to move the pet play pen to the screened in porch and if he's still here when the weather hits, I'll move him (temporarily) inside. If the weather looks TOO bad, I can easily move the play pen to a more secure part of the house. I am hoping he can sense something in the air and scampers back off to the protection of his mom. Even I can sense a change in the atmosphere.

My kidcats all hide during thunder storms so if he's still here I'll keep an eye on the inside kits but probably stay close to the baby.

I'm also putting my car in the garage since they said there's a chance of significant sized hail. And, yes, my weather related PTSD is waking up my anxiety. I don't even want to think about losing power because tomorrow and Friday are going to be dangerously hot and humid and running the AC would be hard on the generator.

Life used to be so much simpler.
