Kennels in Progress~All the Purple!

Here are just a few pictures of the kennels. We are slowly making progress. There is lots of dust and much to be cleaned. The floors are being prepped this week for the new covering. Stay tuned!

Taking In The Fresh Air

Sometimes you just gotta get out and explore. Auggie and I enjoyed a little outing on the property next door. Hopefully one day, this will be ours. Wishful hoping...

Momo and Lama~Our Long-Time Visitors

We had two labs, Momo and Lama, who stayed with us for four months. Their owners were moving to California due to a job transfer and couldn't bring them until they sold their home here and closed on their new home. During their time here, we got quite attached to them. But today the pet transport company came to pick them up. They will be driving cross-country to be reunited with their family. Although we were sad to see them go, I know they will be more than excited when they arrive.

Decisions Decisions Decisions

Of course, things never seem to run on schedule. We are making some progress at the kennel. The most difficult part of the entire remodel for me has been making decisions on things such as flooring, colors, lighting, etc. Thank goodness for the help of my best friend, Shelby Eanes. She has been a lifesaver!

Yard Work...

I don't think my parents ever expected to see the day when I voluntarily mowed the lawn. With the new mower though, how can I resist? Charles, Rob and I split up the mowing duties and got all 5 acres cut in just a few hours today. Here was my contribution!

Chloe LOVED rolling in the fresh-cut grass!

Pictures With Porky

When we woke up early this morning, I noticed that the gate at the very end of our driveway was closed. This was very odd, since we typically leave that gate open. When I walked outside to get a better look, we found PORKY in our front yard!!

The neighbors pig had escaped at some point during the night and a passerby had closed the gates to keep it in our yard and out of the busy street...Porky was really sweet and enjoyed being scratched and getting belly rubs. We eventually called the neighbors and they herded him back home, but it was fun while it lasted!

Braves Tailgate

We throw a huge tailgating party each year for mine and Jessica's birthday. Several years running we have won "Best Tailgate!" It rained this year, but was still a blast.
