It's about time!!!

Wow, I found out a couple days ago that someone actually does read my blog! What do you know ;o) Thanks for the comment Just!

It is pouring with rain today, for the first time in a long time. My newly planted flowers and bulbs are getting a welcome drink and the garden a refresh!

Big news is the addition of two new members to our family...meet Alex and Xavier.
We adopted these two critters back in January. They are now 3 months and 2 weeks old.

The tan one is Alex, he is the free spirit of the two, stubborn as hell and selectively listens when his name is called. He is fun in the sense that he keeps us moving and is constantly busy, he is our little chew monster, he will chew on anything that looks/smells interesting!

Xavier is the one that looks like a Rottie. When we were deciding which pup's to adopt he was the calmest of the group. I am happy that this has lasted. He is mellow and kind of sad looking most of the time, but he loves to be close and cuddle, whenever he can. He will climb into your lap any chance he gets, I have to wonder how this is going to work when he grows up! Who ever heard of a 65 pound lap dog?

They have very different personalities but are a joy to have around. They are slowly getting the "outside is where we go pee" idea and both are comfortable in their crates, Alex more so. He will run to it, whereas Xavier will only go if bribed with a treat or a push from behind!

Chris ripped out the downstairs sheet-rock about a month ago and we are working on coming up with the capital to fix it. If we had known this house had this issue, we would not have bought it...oh well. Last weekend we started breaking up the concrete patio so we can get to the outside of the wall, where the problem is originating. The heavens decided to open today and the deluge has been pouring in through the wall due to our rip up efforts, perhaps we can find a way to channel the water away from the house during rain showers until we can get it fixed.

We have had a very mild winter this year, only two days with snow (2 weeks apart), and then only a couple hours at a time. The snow melts almost as fast as it falls here, but it is pretty to see.

Snow Bunn......Puppies! Annihilating a poor oak tree.

Other big news is the we celebrated our one year anniversary this month, we decided against doing anything big to celebrate and rather put the money towards fixing the house. I can't believe a quickly a year has gone!

I am ever busy with no time to even clean our house right now, perhaps I should just pick a room and clean it thoroughly, that way it gets done without me picking up something that has to go somewhere else in the house and taking it there then starting on something else there! Oh well.

Anyway just a short update. I am missing family, terribly. I wish I could go home, we just have to get this house sorted out first!

I leave you with a cute picture of the pup's favourite sleeping spots (well one of them anyway)...
