luckily i saw the puddle before i stepped in it- THAT would have been a rude awakening.

with having gone out right before bedtime at least it couldn't have been too big of a puddle 
you'd be surprised.....someone didn't do what he should have done when he went out for the last time.

and whose fault is that?
fault? i would say that the beastie in question knows the routine quite well. heck all the beasties know the routine...
oh well,i just hope that it's just not repeated any time soon
and if that's the worst thing that happens all day, it should be a fairly reasonable day

knowing the routine and following it are two distinctly different traits - therefore, i arm myself with a flashlight when we do the last walk. there is no going back in until i see 2 heinies down
Ahhh....mine go out into the back yard on their own. It's been years since I've needed to make sure that bladders were emptied prior to returning inside. Though that may just have changed.
OK, time to face the day. Yesterday ended with having to clean one of the lab fridges, and i left some stuff soaking over night. Means that unless someone steps up before i get there, i have stuff to wash first thing this morning.
Hope today is better for you Tibs. (((more hugs)))

Good Morning.
IDK CES....I *think* he's back to normal-ish. Maybe I'm just being more abservant of possible dizzyness, maybe I'm imagining aftereffects, but I think he's 90% back-to-normal. Maybe I'm just reserving 10%. He is walking around now getting a drink of water.
I'm afraid it's inner-ear. But IDK. Could just be the idiopathic Vestibular old dog thing like the vet said. A "who knows" cause.
I've said it here. Told ??Tibby??...."Dig a hole".
When an F5 is throwing cars and other houses through your house, a closet doesn't do it. You either have a basement or dig a shelter.
@Stormy - Yeah, I read it was a budget thing too. But I'm kinda taking it with a grain of salt. Sure, it's expensive but I think they should have put either basements in or shelters. Some did drown in a basement somewhere though...so it has to be water-resistant too.
The thing with blaming FEMA red tape is complete crap. In my state, almost all homes have basements. We build them with the house. We don't ask FEMA to help us build our house just because it has a basement in it. I know basements are not always possible but some shelter is and they can dang well include them in the construction costs. So it is THEIR being cheap that caused this...not the fed. IDK why they couldn't have shelters in Tornado Alley. Maybe they are blaming regulations with how to do it "properly" but...still...I think they could have had them. Sorry.
Sorry to those in OK. But I don't expect "Big Government" to design and build all your school's shelters and such...even in Tornado Alley. It's a state thing. Get it done. Blaming FEMA is not the way to go with this IMHO.
I expect there will be a rash of construction this summer at schools for shelters.
To be fair...there's a lot of schools here that don't have shelters. They use the hallways....
@Kat....they do the best with what shelter they have. They knew it was coming. However, they were in the location they were supposed to be in I guess. If the whole building gets....wiped...not much you can do. F5 is nasty. You're in a hole or....it's bad. They didn't have a hole or if they did it filled with water.....
EDIT: and an F5 is a rare thing...even in tornado alley. You have to build to some average standards...so I guess we "set the bar" at "withstand F5" now....

our hole was dug during construction therefore i'm the proud owner of a basement large enough for geoff if i could get him down the stairs but you're right, atty - it is a case of personal responsibility and for public buildings the state's

Sorry. Maybe it was CES. Or someone... I know I said it. "Dig a hole". It was a year ago though....
I need to change my sig line to include:
"WARNING: Opinionated SOB!"
But IDK if SOB will pass the ECF Rules test.

opinions...we all have them
...my house was built 100 years ago and has no basement. I don't expect the government to dig a hole for me...but i think someone volunteered Shoe for the job once
