Alvin tried to come in out of the rain this morning but I turned him away. It was too wet to get the leash and collar out for a walk. I can’t find out how much rain we have had out of this tropical storm, not a hurricane, but it has been 10” +. That is small compared to areas farther North. Alvin said, ‘enough already’ and asked again how you were doing!!! We have not had the big winds like farther North.

I forgot to note in my last ‘Alvin’ report that Uncle Albert only had three legs. After a little research, I concluded that is not uncommon at all amongst the Floridaalligator population and is by no means a record one would be proud to carry.
