Friday morning our electric went out and it came back on Sunday night. A long three days keeping seven humans, fifteen dogs and eleven pups fed, watered and clean. Luckily we have a woodburner that kept us warm and gives us plenty of hot water. It also provides our heating to our radiators but, with the electric off the pump was not working. Saturday with it looking like our electric would not be back on until Monday 11.30 pm, we were able to borrow a petrol generator and got the fridge freezer running before ruining all the food in it and got the infrared light going for the pups. We had been filling water bottles around the clock to ensure they did not get cold. After supper last night (much to my surprise) a light flickered in the kitchen and a couple seconds later the electric was back on. Today has been back to back loads of washing and luckily the weather was good enough to get most of it outside to dry and then aired off on the radiators. Back on track. Internet though has been really bad until now, as I do this late in the evening. Blottie's pups will be three weeks old tomorrow and are bright little things. Starting to see their personalities emerging and will hope to get a three week update up tomorrow.

Glad you survived the power cuts ok. It must have been a mission! We had them here too, luckily Dotty loves lying by the fire or cuddling up on a hottie!
