Long Walks

Do wonders for crate training. A bit over an hour with no whimpers or nothin'!

Gunnar

The yard is complete. Fence, some gardens, and a dog.

Some how we beat the odds, and were lucky enough to give this little guy (all 17 pound of him) a new home.

We had a 'dog hammock' thing in the backseat for the ride home... nope, gonna ride home up front!

Bone!!

He ran full tilt sprints in the back yard, went for a nice walk, and now he's passed out on the couch.

The cats hate us, which was expected, but hopefully they get over it.  They've gotten progressively braver, but Gunnar wants to chase them and play, which they're not fans of yet.

Busy

The contractors finished up their end of things today, and we started mudding the drywall and staining the giant window. Busy weekend ahead!

Oh yeah... we're also getting a dog on Sunday...

Chaos in the land

Or in the G&C House.  Window guy is coming tomorrow to install new windows through the entire house, including knocking out a giant hole in the living room to place an 11' bay window (it's for the cats, I swear.)  Downside is they only do installs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which happen to be when I have overnight shifts... oops.

In not so great news, made an appointment to take the truck in, the spot where the drive-shaft and the rear differential meet up decided it wanted to take a break from its duties of keeping all the fluid inside the rear diff.. yay.  The shop I like is also apparently the shop everybody likes, so it'll be a week before they can get it in to look at. In the meantime we'll just keep the fluid topped off and keep trips short.

On a more positive note, more seriously looking at getting a dog.  Seems there's a Swedish Vallhund at the local humane society, and who doesn't like little Viking dogs?

ETA: Too rainy and gross out. Windows will have to wait a couple days...
