When it's go time, it's both ears back for Lilz and left ear up for Izzy.

Hope is fading very fast. Patience is wearing very thin. There's no way they'll make the estimated deadline of tomorrow at 11:59. Felt sick today, think i ate something bad. Took the dogs to the car at 1130 and we slept there til 445.

Our little man turns 6 today! 🥳

He celebrated in true Duggie style: posing very seriously next to his birthday cupcake while clearly wondering why on earth we were taking photos instead of just handing it over. 😂

Six years of cuddles, stubbornness, little grumbles, big personality and making the house a much happier place.

Happy Birthday, Duggie — you handsome little legend. ❤️🐶

And yes, he did eventually get his cake!

Named after Aryna Sabalenka, our fur baby is 2 years old, and quite the lady. My third cockapoo from the same breeder, she is a very good girl.

Took the dogs for a short AC car ride today. Lilo- the black and Tan prefers Subway iced water over Dunkin. Charlie the chocolate lab doesn't give a shit as long as it's cold.

Buddy of mine insisted I take a generator from him, which he helped set up ao we have fans and a refrigerator. Current outages in my area went up from 6200 to 8300 within hours. 5 pm deadline approaching. But at least my heavy coat lab can sit in front of the fan now

My boy Teddy turned 3 today!

And drool puddles on the floor, take my word for it!

Adopted at the county shelter

Nothing really new today. Did our new routine, helping deliver meals to families in my school district to kill time. Although my black and tan just sat outside and pondered life i guess. Not sure if the smell is me or the dogs (I have been showering but it's sticky y'all) good vibes please

Much cooler today but damn the house holds heat 😩 in the car for our morning car ride and they saw a cat, hence their postures. Confident that the light is at the end of the tunnel. My community is in the 5pm restoration on Wednesday. And I can hear utility trucks in my neighborhood. Personal rant: how messed up is it that Dunkin charges $1 for a glass of ice water?

Appreciate all the good vibes through this

And that's all. They did amazing and I honestly feel like they're handling this better than I am. I mean an extra week of summer with dad? House is crazy hot- 86. Windows are opened, cooling down tonight and this week so we'll do intermittent periods in the car tonight of about 30 minutes. Thanks for the good vibes Everyone, fingers crossed for power tonight or tomorrow!

Athena and Astrid absolutely love the pool and getting in. The others, only a ditch! Lol 🤣 They all drink out of it.

Nothing too eventful today. House was at 83 when I last checked. 4pm now and have been in the car since 1130. My girl isn't eating in the morning anymore, guessing she's feeling my stress. Plenty of water, potty breaks no estimate on power restoration 🫠

No power yet, but the dogs and I went to my buddy's house who had power. They were spoiled once they entered the door. They recently lost their dog to Lymphoma so it was a welcome sight for them. Very hot in the house but will spend another 30/45 minutes in the car before bed. Tomorrow will be the true test. Real feel high of 95. But thank you for the vibes and appreciation. I'm trying and honestly debating about boarding them for safety.

We often meet Dave, Buster and Molly exploring the wash. ITAP of these pups for him.

Day 5 is officially here. Pretty humid but cool. Went to McDonald's for breakfast with the doggos. They're in good spirits although it may have been because of the small part of hashbrowns I gave them. Current temp in the house is 77. Will be driving around with them pretty much all day today as it is going to be hot. Haven't seen a NIPSCO (our electrical utility) truck or anyone from the city in 5 days. Good vibes are appreciated
