Yep. Same ol' story. Just when I thought things had slowed down; I was wrong. I am glad to be wrong, please don't misunderstand that! It never fails that when either I or Diane go out of town, the one that is left at home is super swampped with business! That is a really good thing; just odd how we don't stay super busy all the other days too. That is at least one of the many benefits in having a partner. Someone is here to handle all the business while the other is

Since she has been gone to Gatlinburg on Monday, I have written 2 offers, listed 2 houses and received an offer on one of our listings. I have driven from Helena to Pelham to Bessemer to Clanton and going to Hayden today! I am thankful for that 100,000 mile warranty....the "10 year" part of the warranty is a joke to me! At least I get AWESOME gas mileage in my new SUV!
I am happy to report that we finally found a home for "black dog!" She has gone on to be known as "Bama" and to live happily with her new teenage owner in Pelham. It was a sad day around my house when we had to say goodbye to her. Well, that's not exactly true. My husband was super sad about it. He had really grown quite attached to her during the week that we had her. The kids and I, as well as Indy & Lilo, were happy to have our house back to "normal" and I was happy to be able to park in the garage again! I know that all sounds really selfish and I guess, in truth, it is. I don't mean for it to be. I just know that we didn't have the time to spend with her that needed to be spent and that wasn't fair to her. She needs someone to love her and focus on her and train her. We weren't in a position at this point in life to do that. It does hurt my heart that my hubby was upset by this but it is nice to see that he cared so much about something! That sounds mean too. Maybe I shouldn't be posting today....but that won't stop me! Anyway, in the end it was good for everyone (even though "everyone" may not see it right now). "Bama" has an awesome new home; a boy who recently lost his childhood dog now has a new companion; we selfish people got our house back; Indy got her daddy back and Lilo doesn't have to worry about being eaten in his own house! Sounds like a win-win to me.
Yep...it's 3 days since my last post and guess what? We still have an extra dog at our house! I am not a fan of this news but I can't just let her go without having a good home to send her to. I am afraid to say that we are about to name her. I hope that doesn't automatically attach me to her...ahhh! She has been trying to "play" with our dog, Indy. By play I mean chase her around and bite her ankles and elbows! Indy is way too laid back for that kind of nonsense! She just walks around looking pitiful. It's pretty sad really. She has been so spoiled for so long and she has no idea what is going on. Anyway, our search continues for a good home for "black dog." I am sure next post she will go from "black dog" to some super cute name dog! Let's just pray for a good home to come along between now and then!
Ok, so we found a dog in our neighborhood in Helena yesterday. I came home from work planning on cooking dinner and well, needless to say, that didn't go quite as I planned. The hubby sent me down to take pictures of her. Well, since she is a pit bull, I was immediately terrified only to find out that she is just a big baby! So, me, being the sucker that I am, brought her back to our house in the back of my SUV. Just something about that face! She is precious and clearly belongs to someone. Just look at that her...awww! (I know you said it!) Anyway, I am hoping we find her owner or a new home for her soon. We have no where to keep her and it breaks my heart to think of her homeless. There is no way we would take her to a shelter. I mean, really. She is a black, pit bull for goodness sakes. Can you imagine anyone adopting her?
Well, if you know someone that needs a great dog and can provide a great home (that is key!) please have them contact me. We are hoping to have her a home by no later than the end of this week.
