We’re at Brian’s parents’ house borrowing their wifi for a few minutes, and I figured I’d drop in for a quick update. Kitties are all good, and so are the dogs. The temperatures here have dropped a few degrees and we had a lovely thunderstorm last night. Ares woke me up when [...]

Part of my “routine” here is taking the dogs out for a walk every morning. They’re loving walking off leash in the hayfield. It’s beautiful in the mornings, but I just need to remember to spray myself with mosquito repellent or they bite me like crazy.

Isn’t it gorgeous? I love it. [...]

Yes, I’m still alive.  Currently, sitting at the local coffee shop borrowing their wifi and having a latte.  We have successfully made the transition to Grand Junction, and are staying with Brian’s grandparents.  We’ve had a couple more snafus with the house, but things are still on track to close on the 12th.  Here’s hoping!
Well, [...]

Yay! It’s Monday!  That means it’s time for another Happy List.
Here, in no particular order, are five things that make me happy.

We close on our house on the 29th.  Yay!
Packing nearing completion.
A clean kitchen
Doggies who are good boys and listen to me when I tell them to stop barking at every damn thing [...]

I hate waiting.  I swear, I am the most impatient person I know.  Right up until the moment the decision gets made, I’m fine.  Once the decision is made, I want action.  Now.  Quickly.
Unfortunately, we don’t close on the house until the 29th, and can’t move in until August 2nd, so I have to wait.  [...]

Well, we’ve headed to Grand Junction on an exploratory trip, and of course, nobody will rent to us with six animals.  Woe!  I don’t want to try to buy a house on the spur of the moment… that’s something we really want to take our time with.  So, the solution that has presented itself is [...]

Yes, I’m still here!  Chaos and insanity abound, but things are going well.  Except we don’t have a place to live yet.  Hard to move if you have nowhere to move into! If you live in the Grand Junction area and are willing to rent to nice people with a lot of pets, let me [...]

I’ve done the headcollar thing with the dogs before, and it just didn’t work. I had originally used the Halti headcollar, and they just fought like mad against it constantly. I finally gave up because it was such a struggle to get them to accept wearing it. Well, I was thinking the [...]

This time it was Ares’ turn. The poor boy has been scratching himself raw and losing hair around his eyes, and we needed to find out if it was something icky that needed a veterinary treatment. Fortunately, it’s not mites or mange or fleas or anything creepy like that (whew!). Unfortunately, it [...]
