Day 82

I am exhausted. I was up last night in the garage listening to the barrels full of good tasty stuff bang around near the house. It was like what my Captain would call a bowling alley out there. Then, the power went out and this huge loud noise happened. I was glad to be in my metal house because it makes me feel safe, but I would prefer to be with the Captain. Luckily I got my wish. She came and got me and walked me up the stairs on my least and then blocked me into the bedroom. I didn't even care, I just curled up on my bed and went to sleep. It was so dark in the bedroom. The little box with glowing numbers was not even working and the wind, oh my dog god goodness was it windy. Captain and my beds were both moving around on their own because of the wind.

When we woke up, it was still the case that none of the lights were working in the house. Then, when we walked out of the house there was this huge sign, bigger than my Captain, blown against the front doorway. It said something about dirt and grime and Captain realized it was from the car wash down the way. I can't believe it got all the way to our house. On our tour there were sticks everywhere! I was too tired to get any and most of them were too big for me to carry, but it looked like quiet a messy night.

I of course went into the ferry room in my metal house for the day. Luckily there was a break in the rain and the water stopped coming in. Captain said that tomorrow it is supposed to turn to snow. Later in the day the new ferry driver Josh came and got me and we went on a tour together. I was a little self conscious and didn't know if he was participating in Captain's experiment with my poop so I just didn't go and saved it for her later tonight. I know she probably needs it.

Captain took me on a nice tour before dark. I think she needed fresh air. She opened windows in the house before we left and was talking to my Captain about feeling a little dizzy. After our tour she dropped me off and came home sweaty. When she let me in the house she scrubbed my feet more than usual and brushed me first. I could tell a bunch of stuff had happened in the house today and saw those men had really messed with Papa's man cave, but I didn't even bother to check it out and just went straight up to the couch. I don't even know if I can get up to go to my bed when the Captain is ready. I am exhausted!
