We thought...

that Hurricane Alex had gone for good. But no. I guess he wanted to stay with us for some more time and yesterday morning we woke up to see our street...



Flooding...



It was until the afternoon that we could go out for a walkie...

Fresh flowers...

I saw some of the doggies...

In barking mode... as always

I am tired. Can we go back home... please??

*******************************

I enjoyed a lot reading your posts about your names!
Some of the ones I remember and that have anothere meaning in spanish are:

Bobo - Silly
Moco - Booger
Mona - Doll
In Spain, the sun is called Lorenzo

*******************************

Have a good night

All that rain in here in the KC area now. Actually it has stopped for now. We are sorry to see your street flooded but happy to see you got to have a walkie.

We also enjoyed all the name game posts - made for some very interesting reading.

Have a great week.

Sam said...

So, does "Lorenza" mean sun, too?

We haven't been around enough lately to pawticipate in the name game - but it sure has been fun reading other people's stories!

I hope your town is getting back to normal now after Alex ravaged through it!

houndstooth said...

I am sorry the storm is still plaguing you! It was so hot that we had to shorten our walk tonight by quite a bit, too!

Teddy Westlife said...

I didn't do the name game because someone can't remember these things ahead of time. I hope you were not flooded Lorenza!

Bond said...

Hi Lorenza,

I apologise for this request, but I need some help as I am sick.

You can help me by directing some traffic to my blog and hopefully, one of your readers is able to help me.

A million thanks in advance.

hi Lorenza, that is a lot of water on your street! did your mom take you swimming on the street? that would be funny! we're glad that all of the water went away. we hope it didn't go inside of your house.

Ellen Whyte said...

Eeek floods! We have them often and they're a pain. Mexican Spanish is very different from Spanish Spanish!

Huskee and Hershey said...

Oh no.. the flooding looks bad! It looks like a giant pond.. It's nice that you managed to go out for a walkie and sniff some pretty flowers!

ocmist said...

Gee, Lorenza, we hope that it isn't to hot with all that rain. That would be way to HUMID to even breathe, let alone go for a walk. All your "friends" were probably just glad that they could get out for a few minutes without being rained on and wanted to tell you about it! :) The CCC

What! It looks like we are the first to comment tonight! Hurray!

Dexter said...

Your street is a total big swimming pool. Oh dear! I am glad you were able to get in a walkie.

Slobbers,

Mack said...

Looks like you got as much rain as us! No fun!

Sugars,
Mack

My Mind's Eye said...

Lorenza we are so glad the street flooding cleared up. Boy that must have been scary to see that much water so close. Alex has overstayed he needs to move on.

Another lovely dress. Madi and I hope your week is full of clear skies and warm (not hot) sun.
Madi and Mom

Life With Dogs said...

I think you definitely should turn right back around. You already have a new pool, no need to swim in the streets! :)

We are glad you got to go for your walkie still.

We hope the nasty weather goes away soon.

We also hope this comment gets through, blogger is playing up today.

That's a lot of water to get rid of, Lorenza! We hope Alex is gone for good!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Lola and also Franklin, too said...

I'm glad it finally stopped. I hope mean old Alex leaves you alone. And I hope he doesn't have too many friends either. It's so early for hurricanes to hit North America, isn't it? Makes one worry, but I guess there's not too much point in that. Anyway, I'm very glad you got your walk in.

wags, Lola

Sagira said...

You have your very own lake in your street, go swiming! :)

River said...

We're glad Alex has left! That was a lot of water. You have a lot of doggies to visit there.

love & wags,

Kari in Alaska said...

Teddy said...

Wow, that was quite a flood! I'm surprised it all drained away so quickly...just in time for your walk!

Deefor said...

That's a lot of water. Where did it all go? I read about your name and I think it's a great story. And a great name.

Deefor

Marg said...

Sure glad you didn't get totally flooded out and that you got a little walk in. We enjoyed that name game too. Next time we will join it too.
Have a great day.

The Oceanside Animals said...

Alex! Quit bothering Lorenza!

Princess Patches said...

Holy moly! We hope Alex is all gone now so you can get back to all your walkies!

How you got your name is kind like how I, Patches, got my name. When Mom was getting ready to bring me home, she had a list of "P" names and our dad asked her when she was going to get Patches. Mom didn't even have THAT name on her list!

Aire-hugs,
Penny & Patches

Bailey said...

I am glad you are OK! Another cute dress, too!

It is too hot for walkies, here - you are lucky!

Daisy said...

I'm sorry you got so much rain, but I am glad you were still able to go for a late afternoon walkie!

My mom forgot about the name game.

I'm glad Alex finally went away. He does not look like a nice visitor leaving all his mess behind!
