We are fine.
We had a lot of rain, and it has been windy, but we are OK. We didn't lose electricity, internets, water, or anything like that. Mom has been working in the sewing room and watching TV. I have been hiding under the bed.
The weather guys said my part of New Hampster "missed a bullet." That's good. It's not over though. Irene may be gone, but she left a big mess.
Up in Campton NH, a dam may have been breached, and the Pemigewasset River* is expected to crest late tonight and a "wall of water" could flood downstream areas. That's not good.
But I'm OK. I'm looking forward to some nice real live dead cooked chick-hen for dinner.
*The Pemi river is a couple of hours north of us.

Ready for Irene
Irene is coming, and Mom and I are ready.
We have foods for me,
and Mom.
Mom made a cake and has batteries for her flashlights.
Mom has charged up all her toys:
and bought water for us to drink,
and filled up the bathtub with buckets full of water,
(although why Mom did this, I do not know. Irene will be bringing PLENTY of water with her.)
The weather guys say we won't get as much rain, but we are on the side that will get a lot of wind. Around here they are mostly worried about trees falling down over electrical wires. It is raining hard now (11 PM Saturday night) and by the time you all read this (6 AM Sunday morning) it will be raining a lot harder, and by about 9-10 AM it will be VERY windy.
Mom will be watching it all.
I will be hiding under the bed.

Go AWAY Irene!
Mom says I should enjoy the sunshine and the open windows as long as I can because Irene is coming.
Usually when we have company, Mom makes the house look nice. Instead, Mom has moved all the small stuff from the porch to the basement, and moved the flower planters off the railings.
Mom went food hunting last night, because she said if she went today it would be crazy. It turned out to be crazy when she was there last night. She said the store did not have any Bananas! Can you imagine? No bananas. Mom bought strawberries instead. Fortunately, Mom also stocked up on stinky goodness for me!
Even though Mom does NOT want Irene to come here, she will be cooking a chicken, some eggs and even baking a cake! I told Mom I thought that was pretty dumb, but she explained that if we lose electricity we will have food to eat, and she said, what the heck, having a cake would be good too.
So we're ready and waiting. Irene should be here on Sunday, and she will be bringing her strong winds (60 MPH) and lots and lots of rain. We hope all our other friends will be safe.
