Soooo....

I've decided I must purchase my ancestoral home. And it's cheap.

[Not Afraid]

One of my clients lost two of their pets. A beautiful black cat named Sheba (which I'm very sad about) and their pet scorpion (which I couldn't be happier about).
I hated spending the night in a house with a scorpion in the next room.

We sooooooo don't care which one. If you look at the pics, the male is on the right side of the middle photo. He has a fuller coat than the two girls (hence the males are usually the show dogs). The girls are pictured together in the bottom photo.

Now that we know we're definitely getting one, we can start the real countdown. Four weeks and counting! The girls were already fighting over which color collar to get. And toys...apparently you can never have enough puppy toys.

Thank you all for kind words She sends weekly updates, so I'll have more photos next week.

Oh, tell me about puppy toys! I have them all in a basked and he pulls out which one he wants. Or, he just chews on the basket.

How can it be your ancestral home when it was built in 1950? I like how is only has 2 bedrooms but a 3 car garage. That says something.

Not sure where they got the 1950 thing becuase my Dad lived there long before then, with my great-grandparents right next door. It doesn't say it but there's a chicken coop too

12 year old girls are mean. And it doesn't help that my 12 year old is a drama queen. It's going to be a long trip through Jr. High and High School at this rate.

I can tell you that 11 year old(ish) boys aren't much better. You either follow or are subject to bullying. Boy is not a follower.

I just came home with a Roomba. The one main disadvantage to hardwood flooring is the constant mess from numerous pets. So, now I have something to keep things nicer without having to break out the vacuum all the time.

Now, I just need a robot to do other things around the house.

Correction: your 12-year old girl is a 12-year old girl. No further details needed
