No Time

I feel like I never have time for anything anymore! The days seem to fly by and Monday morning I find myself asking where the weekend went? This weekend was nonstop and I feel like I didn't even accomplish that much. However, I did get all of my laundry done and I am now caught up! Friday night, I helped my mom decorate some things upstairs. My parents are thinking about putting their house on the market since there are only two of them now! Saturday we went shopping, ran errrands and took a nap! Sunday we got to meet the dogs from Lone Star Boxer Rescue and Diesel had a good time. I was afraid that he might be one of those dogs that doesn't get along well with others, but he did really well. Thats all for now...

Update

Last night the volunteer from LSBR came over to do our interview. She loved Diesel and thought it was a great idea for him to have a friend. She didn't stay very long, but we had a good visit. After we finished eating dinner, Debbie called to discuss which boxer we might be interested in. She suggested a female, so I told her my favorite was Stella. The only problem is that Stella was surrendered with another dog named Rocco and they want to keep them together. So we will see...We are going to meet all of the dogs on Sunday and I can't wait! In the mean time, we are looking for a crate. She suggested us getting one so our new family member could feel secure while she is adjusting to her new lifestyle. It is not lunch time and I'm off to find a crate!

New Addition

For a while now, David and I been putting some thought into adopting another dog. I had heard about Lone Star Boxer Rescue out of Houston and we had been looking at the dogs available for adoption. Well, last week I filled out the application and tomorrow night a representative from LSBR is coming to do our "in home" interview. Hopefully, our fence won't be a problem. We have a picket fence, which you know isn't very tall. However, the dog we adopt will be an inside dog along with Diesel. Below are some pictures of three possibilities:

...Stella...




...Bogey...


...Nelson...

Wish us luck! Hopefully Diesel will have a new friend soon!

Dyson, Dyson Dyson

So I'm going to do a little raving about my newest purchase! I recently splurged and bought a Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner. I haven't had very good luck with vacuums in the past because they all start to smell like dog. I can't have a vacuum cleaner that smells like dog, much less I don't want my house to smell like dog! I finally convinced David that it was worth the money because we kept having to replace the cheap-o vacuums. This vacuum cleaner is AMAZING! It has the best suction you have ever seen, it has great attachments and the canister is the best part,with the click of a button the bottom opens up and releases everything in side! Not to mention, it hasn't even smelled doggy yet! I love it and I am forever a Dyson customer!

The leaky pipe turned out to be a mess. David cut a rather large hole in the kitchen ceiling to check everything out and turns out the pipe was leaking in 5 spots. Good thing my husband happens to be so handy! He put some repair clamps on for now, and when it gets cooler he plans on re piping the whole house. The plumber offered to do it for $8,000 but we decided to pass :)

On to something a little more exciting...David got a new truck on Tuesday night! its a Toyota Tundra and it drives so good. I suggested maybe I should drive it but I don't think David thought that was a good idea. It's okay though, I have driven the last two new cars we got and it's now David's turn for power locks and windows! As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will put some on here. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
