Spring is here? Winter venges...







Ok, it has finally gotten warm the last few days..getting over 5 degrees..which is a very nice change from minus 10-20..lol. The downside..all the snow is melting...creates lakes on the roads and..in some cases...basements...
I have a crisis currently downstairs where my buns are located...it is SEVERELY flooding..yesterday morning I checked buns and I could see the usually tiny bit of water in the center where its lowest which is normal like last year. Plz note all my buns, equipment and my moms stuff is on pallets. At about 5pm I went down and totally stopped in my tracks, it has flooded to the TOP of the cement in the center, about 2 cms from going past the pallet where the cage with the babies and all my carriers are. The worst part..its flooded into the "safe" area where my other buns are and where I walk (crawl) everyday..about an inch of it. Last nite I moved Nova into a carrier to seperate her from her babies and today I was going to clean cages and clean Nova's cage. So Nova was in a carrier right on the floor when I went down..the carrier almost floating and the whole bottom had water in it. Luckly Nova is safe now..above ground. So basically I have lost some equipment that wasnt a match for the water..my grooming table is half covered..and a bucket full of stuff is under water now as well as a couple carriers. I will try to move all that stuff today and see if I can save it.
Now..to what happens next..its still warm out and Im positive this water is going to keep rising..its rising every hour...im VERY worried about my buns, I could move all the cages back but I dunno if thats enough. The other thing Im worried about is whats in that water. Today was suppost to be cage cleaning day where I clean those cages and sweep the floor of unwanted hay..which is all underwater now. Did I mention my mats and most of my towels are under water now too..lol.
So in case things get very bad before getting better, I MAY have to move my buns to another location somehow. If anyone has an area that I can use if need be, can they email me asap.

I will post another blog later about my truck with pics..that came home yesterday. I was suppost to get new pics of the jrs too..but may have to wait now.

I have posted some pics of downstairs currently, yes again I was suppost to clean cages today so it is a mess...I still dunno how im gonna clean em...
