Power!! We have power. We anticipated the worst and was pleasantly surprised. Lucky for the League we never lost power. We've got some leaky spots, but the cats and dogs are fine and their quarters aren't directly impacted. We were fully staffed the entire time. Staff and volunteers are here today. I left extra food and water for Jules and Donny last night-- just in case -- they ate what they needed and left the rest. They were happy to see us this morning, but not overly ecstatic.
We did okay at home, too. The power is on. Nigel braved the outdoors around 8:00 p.m. for a quick potty break and went on a long walk before 9:00 a.m. this morning. Merl slept with Max and Charlotte, well Charlotte, was Charlotte. When I got up this morning at 8:00 a.m. and opened the front door for Nigel Charlotte dashed out. I got my boots and plodded out in the rain to get her. She would have happily continued exploring the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy! Once again, I reminded Charlotte that cats live indoors.
Our shelter is full, so for all of those folks who have been thinking of adopting a forever friend, we will be open for business tomorrow, so please stop by.
