    The synchronicity of your lovable Odie coming into your lives so suddenly just when you needed her is so great. She is smart and sweet and bonded with you so ferociously. And to boot, she came as in instinctive “digger” as you look for crystals. Who ever said our pets don’t communicate with us-in mind and heart and loyalty. She is truly right from the angelic realm come to help you in every way and every day. What a blessing she has you both for protection and love. Blessings to all in your family.

    I am so glad y’all are safe. I live in Katy Texas and Thursday evening we had a Tornado go through North Katy and the Cypress area. Some people are still without power, my daughter included. It was bad but luckily our house, cars and family are great. Praise God for that!
    Please take and be careful. Much love to y’all 💛❤️🍯🐝

      A VERY small tornado hit here in California when I was in my 20's and it took part of a roof of a church nearby. That was the most damage aside from small debris and small trees and that was scary enough for me. 😁I can't imagine what y'all go thru with big tornadoes. I'll take my earthquakes any day. Keep safe, glad everyone is ok.✌

    Enjoy your videos. Opal is just precious. I found your videos when you got her. Hail is scary. It can do major damage. But I am like Nicolette. I have always want to go with the storm chasers to see the storms. But safely. Understand better to be safe than sorry in your own vehicle, which is your home.

    I saw debris flying around like crazy when I was a kid. Was a tornado tearing up the neighbors roofs . Next day the Park we had been at had uprooted trees. The gas station was torn apart. Convenience store was very damaged. Back in the 70s no siren .

    Anxiety over something real like a natural event that can kll y is not ridiculous. lol Unless ur in California worried about tornadoes. 😆 I've been through many earthquakes here, big and small and I'll take them any day over hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, tsunamis. It's probably the most survivable of all natural disasters so feel no shame for keeping yr family safe. 😉

    Well, I think she’s got a smart husband. You were protecting her and your baby dog. She looks scared in the first one to me when she was called in it so I don’t understand why she wouldn’t be scared in this one. You need to listen to your husband ma’am.
