Well, the big day is here, the day the moon covers up the sun and the yard gets dark. Seriously, the Dad said the yard will get dark. Where we live we’re in the total eclipse band which means those who are interested can see the full eclipse for two plus minutes. That’s plenty of time to get plenty dark.
According to the science humans it will be dark enough that the birds will nest, thinking it’s bedtime, and nocturnal critters will come out n’ about. It all sounds kind of confusing, and maybe it is, or maybe it isn’t. There are so many humans in our city that the prediction is our human population doubled for today. There is somewhere around 400,000 additional humans coming here to try and see the eclipse. Dad says the traffic on the highways is apt to be a mess.
So, the total eclipse will be around 2:40ish PM our time, which is prime napping time here. Since it will be dark it should make for one grand snoozy. It works for me! Happy eclipsing everyone!!!
Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
We aren’t getting anywhere near what you guys are – just a little over half. It will be interesting, though – it’s my first good eclipse!
WE are looking forward to the eclipse this afternoon. At least it will cool off for a few minutes. We get to watch it right in our back yard and no more peeps here. We are NOT going out and about today with all that traffic. You all have a good day.
we will see it only partwise… maybe the sun hopped on the dark side today, because that dark side has always cookies?
Wow. That many are coming? Yeah, we’d stay home and lock the doors. It turns dark like it does every night. Woweeee. Humans are so simple.
I am glad I don’t live near where there will be total coverage, I wouldn’t want to deal with crowds of people.
We’re only going to have a partial one here, ours is around 2:30…………I didn’t get any glasses so I will be inside!
Unfortunately, it is supposed to be cloudy here this afternoon.
Lots of craziness in your area for sure. My peeps will watch it live on the telly or on the desktop
Lots of sun here today and no clouds. Mom says it will be interesting to step out on the covered back porch to see if the birds stop chirping
Hugs madi your bfff
We’ll have a partial eclipse here, but it’s cloudy out right now! Can you believe that in Southern California, land of the sun?
I’ll be outside, trying to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse…with a paper with a pinhole in it! And why not get a little crazy over this eclipse; we all could use a distraction for a few minutes.
guyz….de eclipse will bee round 86 purrcent heer, but in 2014 it will be 100 purrcent….we will see 100 purrcent tho in R mindz eye coz we will bee a sleep 🙂 !!! ♥♥
I’m ready. 100% here too but only for less than half a minute. BUT that’s OK.
We are not into it at all and will be at dog school.
It is just about time for the moon to completely cover the sun here in OP. We are going to be very close to 100% totality. It has been awesome to watch, says Mom. We had bad storms all morning but then the sun came out and there are just a few clouds here. Up in St. Joseph, MO, which was supposed to be the ideal viewing location, it is raining:( Mom is heading out to the dark in a few minutes. Misty is acting weird and hiding in the laundry room, while Lightning is sleeping on Mom’s feet:) Woos… Read more »
Perfeito para um cochilo prolongado! Miauhihi

We are cloudy, so it got a bit darker, but was already dark. I hope your nap was extra good! xo
We only had a tiny nibble out of the bottom of the sun here but it was a cloud free sky so we looked through the welding mask. We had a total eclipse in 1999 and we were directly in the main path of it. The thing I remember most was the birds falling silent as it came over. We could see the darkness coming towards us like a big shadow.
Although we are on the other side of the USA as you…we will be snoozin’ too!!

It was very cloudy here so we didn’t see the eclipse.
Many tourists came out here to O-R-E-gon for the event. The D-O-G wore silly glasses that Mom put on her. Mom didn’t watch this morning, ’cause the area fires made it too smokey for her to be outside. She has breathy problems & have have allergies. It did get kind of dark for a few minutes in the kitchen.
hope you guys had a good and not too crazy eclipse day– we were not in totality but it was still cool!
that is cool that you are in the path of totality, Brian. It’s pretty crazy what the humans are doing to see it. we helped our mom make a viewing box. now that it is over she is bummed to not have had glasses. our house and the outsides got noticeably dark at ~76% but we didn’t think it was a big deal. we’d be curious to know how it ended up for you all.

I hope you had a lovely eclipse
Other than the traffic, it sound like your eclipse experience will be fun.
Wait, did the eclipse steal your afternoon sunpuddle? TW was out and came home about 5 minutes before our’s began. We had 70% but there was too must cloud cover.
So, how was it, you guys? We had a partial (71%) eclipse here, and even that was awesome (we had glasses)! We bet the total eclipse was epic!
We were hoping it would get darkish here so we could pretend it was time for dinner but it was cloudy and it didn’t get dark and we didn’t get an early dinner. Rats.
Hope you enjoyed the eclipse and some extra napping time! We wish we’d had the full one here….I would have liked to see if the chickens went to roost or not. 🙂
Dat’s so cool Brian. We tried to see it, but alas, it never got dark here. Big hugs
Luv ya’
