In my area, we had about 87% coverage. With that amount, I was amazed at how bright the sun was still. Incredible I think and made me realize just how powerful our sun is for light and warmth. I actually enjoyed the eclipse even though we didn't have a total one.

It was remarkable in many ways. It was beautiful, awe inspiring -- I watched the total eclipses on tv as they were happening as well -- and I loved how it brought so many people together to watch it.
 
My SO's parents were leaving for a 2 weeks trip to the southwest of U.S.A and they were able to come to an arrangement with the pet grooming place they normally take Harry to to look after Harry. Yesterday as they were packing up his toys, blankets etc, Harry knew something was up and I was sent this photo of him clearing stating him opinion of all of this! He cried/whined in the car all the way to the temp new home. Tough 2 weeks ahead of him and the 2 girls who are going to look after him!

What a darling, xiangxiang!
 
I hate boarding my dogs. I can only board the little ones, and request they be kept together. When we rescued Emmy, I took her for grooming and found out she went crazy in the crate. We have never even tried to put her in a crate as we don't want to stress her. We try to take her with us, finding rentals friendly to dogs, or someone will be home with her. My groomer doesn't crate either. It is a bit confining to our schedules, but can't be avoided.
 
LOL- that's so funny. I had a similar thing happen with a vintage Chanel I have. I was wearing it one day when my mom and I went shopping and had a conversation like this:

mom: oh that's so pretty. Is it Coach? (because of the C's)
me: :whut:

If y'all don't know by now I am truly the black sheep of my family.....I'm pretty sure I was changed at birth with someone else as *no one* but me has any interest in designer goods.....
Too funny Bunnycat!
:hugs:

Coming up on Mabel's first boarding experience. We're traveling internationally, so no option to take her with us. I am apprehensive, but hoping she will do well and it will end up benefiting her socialization. HenHen will be there too--not that dear, neurotic Henry will be a great source of reassurance, but at least he's familiar.
In an ideal world, my in-laws would bring Harry everywhere they go. But flying Harry is just not an option. Not just because of the cost involved, but being in a cage in the hold on a plane would just traumatise Harry too much. Last time they were away, they found a guy in the neighbourhood to look after Harry, together with half a dozen of dogs. We received photos of Harry running in the park playing with other dogs looking very happy. But the guy was from Agentina and he has since gone back to Argentina! This pet grooming place doesn't normally take dogs in but the girls there really love Harry so they agreed to look after Harry. Fingers crossed Harry settles in soon.

I am sure Harry will be fine XX. He is with girls he knows and who love him. I couldn't imagine traveling by plane with any of my animals. Certainly not in a crate and hold of the plane. I used to leave mine with exDH until he got a Great Dane who we know would upset Emmy. Emmy doesn't like other dogs but tolerates Lil and Phil. She is a sweetheart otherwise.
When we adopt rescues we never know the doggie's former life. And Em came from a rescue that was only one step removed from ACC -- no extensive analysis by a foster parent of the dog's personality. So we learned as we got to know each other.

Lulilu, yes I am sure he will be fine. Maybe a bumpy start but he will eventually settle down. He adores humans and he likes the girls there.
How interesting that my in-laws' dogs have always been puppies so we all know what they were like from a young age while older rescuer dogs really require a discovery phase! I applaud you for adopting those rescuer dogs and give them a loving home! :tup::flowers:
 
Oooh, and another one: Definitively, can original Barenia (smooth "Naturel," not "Faubourg") tolerate rain or not? Does it dry without spots, or does water leave permanent marks? I needs ta know!

A complete non sequitur: I have a question for our Cafe members in the UK. Are white booties a fashion "thing" over there as they are in NYC?

White boots are a thing in NY?

I don't have the new barenia but my (old) barenia bags do just fine in rain/snow. For what that's worth!
