Guess I'll update this. The house is all put together (for now)! There are a few things left to hang, but I'm not 100 sure where I want to put them. Also, Jon needs to organize the office and the garage. I tried to work on the office but I can't put things away when I can't figure out WHAT the object is. I'm really happy with how the house has turned out, though.
Last week we had a friend stay with us while he waited to close on the house. He had his dog, Bubba, with him. It really made us realize how a house isn't a home without a dog. We've been working closely with the Saint Bernard rescue here and are on the right track for adopting one.
That being said- We had a sleepover with Sassy: a smooth coat, 135 pound, 3 year old Saint. She was super awesome! The over night stay went really well. She warmed up to both of us fairly quickly. When night time came she had no problem making herself at home on Jon's side of the bed. We had to give her back since we haven't officially adopted her. The house is too big without her though. I got an email from the rescue asking us if we were still interested in adopting her, so I think that means we are good to go with the adoption =D
That's all I have to update about for now. Mom is flying into town tomorrow and leaving Saturday. I'm really excited to have her here. It'll be nice to have someone to talk to during the day.
I hope you are able to adopt her Libby. I agree with you- a house with no dog is not a home. We're in a small apartment, and might trip over each other from time to time, but I it wouldn't be right without our dog!
