We have severe weather warnings in effect here in the Chicago area until tomorrow afternoon. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected, and this is also the time of year when tornados can happen.

The Rottweilers are glad to be house dogs, as they, and I, still remember the tale of Chase, the Rottweiler who took a block-long ride à la Toto in a June tornado in south suburban Richton Park, just around this time last year. His story is still out there on the ‘net, including video:

CBS2 Chicago: Dog Survives Toto Impression During Tornado

Um. That would be video of happy rescued Chase with his relieved family. You don’t really think someone would be out in a tornado shooting a video of a dog flying through the air, do you? What’s that? Yes, this is Chicago. Okay. Point taken. Still no flying dog video.
