We are doing well cyber pals. Things quickly progressed in getting better, but there were some hurdles.

| Leaning Pole Is Not A Good Thing |
As Dad was cleaning up in one the back yard on the 28th he brushed up against a pole and felt his skin tingle. He looked up at the pole and noticed it was crooked. Yep, electric current. He called the Electric Company, when they didn't show up he emailed them a picture on Sunday 1 October. Dad went to work on the second, when he came home he noted the electric company had disconnected him. He called and the told him that he needed to get an electrician, because the problem was at his end. He got hold of one and the told they might make it late Tuesday, but more likely Wednesday morning.

| They Pushed The Pole Over |

| A Broken Bracket |
Dad got a room at the lodge and we stayed there Monday and Tuesday night. They didn't have a room Wednesday night. The electricians came over at 8 AM and were done by 11 AM. They called the electric company and Dad waited a couple hours before calling them. When he talked to the electric company Dad was told it would be 2-3 days before he would get power. His heart sank. He figured it was cool enough that he would sleep in the house and went out to eat. When he was coming back he was following an electric company truck. The truck pulled up and we had power by (:30 PM. We were a happy pack.
Yard cleanup is going well. It will take some time. There is a lot more light and you can see things we never noticed before. We are seeing pups more often at Angel Paws, so we are happy.
Today Dad is happy, but wistful. It would have been Essex's 14th barkday today. He thinks about her and Deacon at times. He misses them both, but he smiles when he sees us. We think both of those two Angel Collies protected our home and our pack.
