It rains dogs and cats today. Well, kasams and other rockets, really ;)
Explosions all around the area are quite audible. But none comes too near. Ten to fithteen kilometr, or something. Some shops are still open, for a wonder, even as the police arges 'em to close their businesses. Well, the job of police is to spread the panic, the job of shopkeepers is to earn their living in any circumstancies, and the only hope of population is to bet on their healphy greed :)
Now I do see, how old is my dog. Just a couple of years ago, she still got some streangth to panic (rather noisely) at the lightnings, saluts and suchlike. But nowdays, she just sleeps through all the commotion... We don't use the shelter ourselve (it is on the ground floor, they didn't build basement). But the doggy isn't up to coming to the ground flour of our flat every cople of hours. Her legs pains her. She protest being carried so strongly (and she's one heavy, twenty kg bitch to carry), I suspect they aren't her only problem - even if the vet seen nothing special. Well, I spent a couple of hours outdoors to get her some doggy food - and that's about all, I may do to help her. Her walking h... minutes outdor have been minimized - and how happy does the poor beast feel about it.
