Utility Room Tear Down

We have been working on adding a bathroom to our former utility room. Here are some pictures of the mess...

Rufus Update

On Thanksgiving we took Rufus for a long weekend with some potential adoptors. Upon arriving at their home I was shocked to see what a perfect house it was for a big dog, yet they had not previously had one.

They called last night to confirm that they love him, and are making him a permanent member of their family. YEAH RUFUS!!!

Found - Stray Doggie

Last weekend we saw this guy wondering the neighborhood, and he would take off anytime we tried to approach him. On Wednesday I came home to find my darly husband laying in the street trying to make friends. Little did I know at the time, but he had spent the over an hour sweet talking the big guy buy the time I got home. We spent another hour before he ran off. Thursday the guy stopped in long enough to eat the food we'd left for him, having noticed his too thin state the night before.

Today we were working on the house (surprise, surprise) when Rocko started romping around the yard. I looked up to see that our friend had returned. We spent some time working with a neighbor to try to get a leash on the doggie, but no luck. Well, Rocko is smarty than us! He ran into the back yard, and his buddy followed him. We quickly closed the gates and have kept him captive since.

We do not intend to keep the new guy, but rather get him to trust us enough so that we may get him in the car and to the vet. He needs to be fixed and put up for adoption. He is super sweet, well behaved, and as far as we can tell his only issue is that he is scared from his life on the streets. But, he is coming around! Hopefully we will be able to get him to the vet sooner rather than later. In the meantime, Rocko gets to have a friend sleep over.
