Hey, It’s Jet Here.
We apologize for the late post. Mom has fought her computer again. She said this thing called firefox will not work and she had difficulty accessing the internet. She figured out a temporary solution and here we are.
Just as my nightly Courage Meter began to inch up, last night happened.
My human sister, Rachel, accompanied us on our nightly walk to Dixie’s house. The ladies tried a new idea to shift me over my reluctance (Jet – reluctance? Let’s try refusal) to walk past Dixie’s house. We crossed the street and guess what? Same thing! Back to the Drawing Board.
Shortly after returning home, we heard a big boom. Mom suggests the word explosion to differentiate (I’ve worked on building my vocabulary!) between the holiday booms and last night’s sound. She told Rachel that the sound probably arose from a transformer blowing out, not that uncommon in our area, unfortunately. We weathered that noise reasonably well. And then…
While Mom and JJ walked outside for last tank emptying (I couldn’t muster enough courage.), IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Within an hour give or take, a louder boom of the same nature occurred, freaking out Rachel and I in the house and JJ and Mom outside. Mom returned quickly with JJ, tried to calm all of us down and decided to check in with the police. The dispatcher said she would send out a car to the area. Good idea Mom. Thanks Jetty.
About 15-20 minutes later, IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Rachel and I really freaked out this time. Mom called the police again. They said we were the only call, however, the officer from the first call did hear the boom. Mary Ann called Mom to say she heard it too and Mr. Jim called the police.
Well, another 15-20 minutes passed, and BLACK, the lights went out. For all the horror movies Rachel watches, she joined me in my extreme discomfort. Mom got out the flashlights and candles. Rachel called her Dad, who investigated and learned that 500 houses in our area lost power. Eventually, we settled into the darkness with Rachel and Mom chatting from bedroom to bedroom. We heard the FPL trucks which restored power within about one and a half hours, just as Mom, JJ, and I drifted off to sleep.
Another great day. (because I can catch up on my sleep and it’s light out…)
Hey... It's Jet Here 
OMG sweet Jetty – I;m so so sorry! how scary that must have been – Just when you were trying so hard to get your courage back from all the Pop Pops!
I hate when the the lights go out! I hope your Mom will get a chance to take a nap today and catch up on her sleep. I;ll write to again later – sending comforting hugs xoxoxo
p.s. Tell Rachel I also really love horror movies/shows but get freaked out when the light go out!!
Hey, it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Wendy. I know, I’m trying so hard to rebuild my courage. Yes, we all napped a bit, however, she has a great deal of writing today for her Kitchen Counselor newsletter.
Oh, I will tell Rachel that you understand how she can watch that scary stuff and still get scared in her own house!
We accept all the comfort we can amass! Jetty kisses back Miss Wendy.
Good night sweet Jet, JJ, Mom, Rachel, Fluffy and Puffy – I hope you have a peaceful night and you can catch up and get a good night sleep.
Love you Jetty xoxoxo
Hey, it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Wendy. Thanks so much, we really need it. Guess what? I made our total evening walking route with Mom, JJ, Mary Ann and Dixie. We just returned. Mom gave me a super big rawhide for my dental snack!
Love you too Miss Wendy. Wishing Rex, Cassie, Barkley, Jacob and Mr. Wendy a night of comfortable rest, too.
