Well, Amigos…what can we say to our friends in cyberspace except muchas gracias for your kind words of support today for all of us here at Casa de Canterbury during the practically Biblical proportions of epic flood waters that cover our entire state of South Carolina.
It is a real disaster for sure, and we are very sad for what we see and hear on our local news programs that have shown people and their pups and purrers being pulled from rooftops and put into boats transporting them to safety. Boats in the streets. Sweet Lady Gaga. And to top it off, our 4 Paws Clinic with the Hottie Docs was completely submerged today…totally under water. No news on when they will be open again. Unbelievable.
Casa de Canterbury has been spared the flooding and still has electricity but no city water since water mains are broken somewhere in the vicinity. Pretty cleverly filled a bathtub with water so that should help for the next few days.
She also made a chocolate cake as an emergency source of food when the takeout containers have all been emptied. Let them eat cake.
The old woman Slow continues to monitor the TV for regular updates so that she can maintain her typical Woe is me, whatever will become of us cheerful disposition. Honestly, if she could just give it a rest we would all appreciate it.
She did take a few photos this morning outside of our Casa.

These pictures are why she never gets a raise.
Get me outta here, Percy. I hear the rains coming down again…hope everyone stays safe through the night. The Red Man will keep you posted…stay tuned.

It has rained here, and we need more, but I hate cloudy days and I especially hate doing my business in it. Glad you are ok..

Yes, the Pack at Casa de Canterbury hates to be out and about on the wet ground, too!! We could have had it worse for sure. 🙂

Pretty has her priorities straight. Thank the gods and goddesses she does, for chocolate cake will keep your spirits up like nothing else.
We are so grateful you are safe and sort of snug. Having lived through Hurricane Sandy we were really worried about you. Of course, there is Slow taking pictures after the governor said not to. That’s why she and Ma are soul sisters!!!
Prayers for your continued safety. It really is a terrible thing to deal with.
Much love and warm hugs from your paw pals up North.

Ann, just got the computer fired up again a few minutes ago! What a few days of high drama we have had – and unfortunately, the water has still been rising in the lakes so we hope all dams hold. In the midst of tragedy great stories of personal heroism arise which restores my faith in people – plus my faith in the utility workers, too. Teams have come from North Carolina and other states to help us, and that’s really been wonderful, too. Honestly, what would we do without these folks??
Thanks so much for your love and warm hugs – tonight we send them back to you…

Thanks so much, Terry…and you’re right. Some of it passed tonight when we got our power back a few minutes ago! That made all of us at Casa de Canterbury very happy!!! We are hanging in, and we hope you are as well. Much love, Sheila

The flooding has been big news here, glad you haven’t suffered as much as some! Strangely there’s been flooding just round the med from us. It was sudden and terrifying and 17 people died. Reading about your flooding, you’ve had so much more rain than here but I guess the fewer deaths are due to the gradual nature of the build up. Stay dry!

Gosh, thank you so much for telling us about the floods there, also – we haven’t had any TV or internet so I didn’t know anything about it. And the loss of life is horrific in both instances…tragic examples of the power of Mother Nature and our powerlessness in the face of it. Thanks for the kind words – we will try to stay dry!

Chocolate cake as an emergency source of food! My human mommy likes the way Pretty thinks in the face of disaster. We were so sorry to here about the Hottie Docs’ clinic. Here’s hoping that the dams hold, the water falls, and all of our friends in South Carolina have sunnier days ahead.
P.S. Tell Slow not to use any of that bathtub water diluting her bourbon. That would be a waste and she’ll need it to flush the toilet.

We tried to call the Hottie Doc’s clinic today, and the number has been disconnected. This made us all very sad at Casa de Canterbury. Pretty has made another reserve cake tonight just in case. Slow is sure to remember which water goes with her bourbon – and a neighbor brought ice over to our casa yesterday so adult beverages appear to be safe.
We also hope dams hold, water falls, and we look for sunnier days – from your lips to God’s ears.
Thank you, Miss Harper Lee, for caring.
