Well, I watched the news last night. Power was out to about half my city for part of the afternoon, due to power lines being blown down. A tree fell on a mobile home. And several trees were uprooted. I guess it's not too surprising that the 1 by 4 slats on my gate snapped. But scary nontheless, when you think your fenced yard is keeping your dog safe.

I saw the man again this morning. He said owen wasn't moving when he saw him. Just standing there, two doors down, smelling a tree.

Thanks guys, for the nice words, and the suggestions for what to give the nice man.
