Cloudy with rain forecast so we just went to nearby Essex Woods. It started to sprinkle but I had a plastic bag for my camera.
I found flowers and things to photograph - I messed up several pics
and Kelley found some water
After the water she wasn't interested in going farther so we headed back. When we started there had been no dogs in the dog park next to the parking lot but there was one when we got back. Kelley wasn't interested in it either.
Late afternoon we got thunder, lightening, wind, and rain. Kelley is really afraid of these storms and I looked to find her gone. Usually she gets under some shrubs or goes into the garage and has only left the yard twice. I drove around the neighbor hood several times and also walked around calling her name. When the storm was over she did not appear and I was really worried. I thought surely she would be at the door when it got dark but she was not. About 9:00 a neighbor ( I had not previously met ) came to tell me Kelley was in their garage ( luckily she hadn't managed to lose her tags this time) and much relieved, I brought her home.

I counted 8 white egrets at Essex Woods yesterday, always a lot going on. And plenty of dog scents for Kelley. Hopefully no storms this afternoon...
ReplyDeleteWe didn't see any- maybe because of Kelley- but there were lots of scents. Storms forecast for today again - I will keep a closer on on Kelley.
DeleteWhew - so glad your neighbor found Kelley and you were reunited!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda - very scary
DeleteSo glad that had a happy ending and you got Kelley back safely.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the day.

Thanks Sue- another storm right now - with hail- luckily Kelley is in the back seat of the car.
DeleteAwwww, poor baby. Thank goodness for tags although she probably would have found the way back home when storm was over, but yeah, scary!!
ReplyDeleteHi Serafina- yes, scary - very rare for her to go off like that
DeleteYou had me worried for a minute--I'm so glad you found her, but, I'm sure, not as glad as you. Your flowers are really pretty and well shot.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty- yes, a big relief
