On Wednesday morning at 3am, I awoke to the sound of rain inside the house. The water supply became unconnected to the toilet in the upstairs guest bathroom and water poured through the floor to the main floor and the basement. The sound of rain that I heard was actually water pouring through the recessed lighting fixtures in the kitchen onto the hardwood floors.
Currently, most of Cooper's play areas look like this, which is rather depressing for him (and not to mention dangerous with all the nails sticking up!).
Since Wednesday, Cooper has only been able to hang out in the master bedroom (the only room in the house that didn't get damaged by water) and the deck.
With 37 professional air blowing dryers and 7 dehumidifiers, it became very hot in the house. We survived Wednesday and Thursday nights in the 90+ degree house, but we spent Friday night at a hotel. The house is finally starting to dry out and we will hopefully get rid of the dryers and dehumidifiers tomorrow!! Then the cleanup process begins. Here's a cute pic of Jeff and Cooper in the hotel.
Amazingly, Cooper has seemed unphased by this entire series of events even though everything we taught him in his first week and a half in our home has gone out the window. He's not eating his meals next to the island in the kitchen -- instead, he's been eating on the deck or in our master bathroom. He's not going outside to do his business through the basement door -- instead, he has to go out the front door. We are so thankful to have such a good puppy who didn't freak out during what has been a nightmare for us.

So, using the front door and sleeping in his Daddy's arms in a hotel would be a hardship for his highness Cooper?
ReplyDeletepampered puppies, as they should be. There is no creature on the face of the planet who will love you more than they love themselves!
