I moved again...

Well, I'm now on my 4th house in this town. Really, this is the first one actually IN town, but you know what I mean. The dogs and I moved in with 3 boys and 2 cats a couple of weeks ago. You might be thinking that I'm crazy, (and you're probably not wrong,) but it has been nothing but good times up to this point and I anticipate that the good times will continue to roll! We all work together at the vet clinic and somehow, still manage to see each other little enough that it works out.

Per usual, the cats and dogs can't be in the same room yet, but we haven't necessarily made to effort to condition them to each other's presence yet either. I guess you could say it's to be expected. I remain optimistic. There is no doubt in my mind that integration will be a success, just as it was with H's cat a year ago.

I gave Hyside a really funny haircut this week. He was getting so full of burs and grass seeds that it was time to do something. I was afraid they were going to dig their way into his skin and cause all kinds of issues. We actually do paw check every night before bed and check all 8 dog paws for grass seeds before sleepy time. Anyway, at work, we refer to the cut below as the "lion cut" (for obvious reasons). I did screw it up and shave his tail, so it looks like a rat tail, but other than that, he looks really cute. Next time I'll leave a puff ball at the end. He has lots more spots than I had anticipated. My handsome! He looks a little possessed in the photo, though.


Ah yes, to celebrate the move and improve my health and general attitude, I shelled out all my pennies for a big bed. A really big bed. The biggest bed, actually. The sweet piece of heaven you see below is a California King from Denver Mattress and is so awesome words can't describe it! Now I don't get crowded off the bed by the turds in the middle of the night. We can all sleep comfortably in our own space! The thing takes up over 1/4 of our bedroom, but we could never go back now! And to think that Jared had a double bed before this...


That's all for now, folks. I'll try to post again soon, like next week when I have my wisdom teeth extracted and have some time on my hands...ugh.
