Gord here…
This past weekend I was up in cottage country helping Mike Cooper put his newly acquired 40 sandbags into storage as his flood scare came to an end.
Since the water had receded, the wall of the 80 pound each sandbags need to be moved. We broke the task up into half. 20 bags 1 day and the rest the next. They are heavy for one and awkward to grip, but the second half had a fresh dumping of water from the night’s spectacular thunderstorm that passed by.
Mike’s dog Koda is a black Lab, very loving and likes to be with me when I am there, which I love. I can pet Koda for hours and she seems to dig it as well. Koda does not like thunderstorms and as the storm progressed she started to move up the bed closer to me until she was laying right beside my face and as I gave her a big bear hug I realized that she was shaking because of the storm.
As I turned on the lights, so that Koda wouldn’t see the Lighting flash as much, I laughed to myself as I thought what a sight it must be to see a grown man in bed with a shaky dog. What can I say, I am a sucker for a pretty face. Just ask my girlfriend Dawn and sometimes The General, but only when he wears his hair up.
