Just Things...

First, if I could survive on raspberries alone, l would. I'm addicted!! Not sure how it happened but now I can't seem to get enough of those cute little berries. They're good for you with lots of antioxidants and the pups don't like them so I don't have to feel guilty noshing in front of them. Oh and if they are coated in dark chocolate, well...then I've died and gone to Heaven!! 

Second, Puppyville is very hard!! Sadie is doing well and progressing but let me tell you, it can become very discouraging.  I'm trying to learn patience, which has been hard for me. When you have an older dog, one who lets you know they need to go outside and can do this alone without running out of the yard, you have a gem!  Senior dogs lay around and enjoy doing just that ALL day long. Not puppies!!! They have to monitored and within arms length every minute of every day. She has to be taken out on a leash and stand there waiting for her to decide there's nothing more interesting then for her to do her business. With the weather we've been having I've had to bundle up before going out...hat, coat, gloves and boots, and do this many times a day. As much as it's been frustrating it's also been fulfilling.  She really has a sweet disposition and loves to snuggle and I love that.  Puppyhood will be over soon....well I hope so, atleast. Either way we will get through it together and that's an awesome feeling!
 

 Third, I'm really ready for some changes in our home.  We will be repainting our study and a bedroom soon and I can't wait.  I thought when we finished the upstairs I would feel complete and ready to sit back and enjoy this house before we sold it.  Now, I'm ready for more changes.  I also feel I have fallen out of love with our home and ready to move on to the next adventure.  I know I shouldn't feel this way because we built this home. Lots of blood, sweat and many tears were shed before we ever moved in and lots more since.  The plan was for this to be our last home, you know the one where you raise your children, the one you grow old and retire in. Well, life doesn't always work out the way you hoped or planned. So, we are hoping to get the house back on the market this Spring and try to sell. Until then, I will try to cherish every memory we make here, however long that may be.
