Catch up

I've been such a bad blogger! Here's an update of just a few things we've been up to!
Our first big project is complete! The fence is done and it looks great! The dogs are loving the back yard. My cousin Josh and Devin worked their tails off in the rain, snow, sun, late nights......you name it! They did whatever it took to get the job done and it looks great! It's the best on the block!



Next on the list: Landscaping! We started this weekend, and got quite a few plants in the ground, but then the rain came!
Our next adventure was Bella. She was pregnant (not planned!) and decided to deliver a week early. I was at home in Clay Center and I received a frantic call from Devin. He woke up and Bella had part of a puppy's sack hanging out of her. He had no idea how long she was like that and it was clear she was getting uncomfortable. He tried running her around, but nothing would move and she was so big she couldn't push. Not having a vet in KC he made a few calls and found a great vet in Gardner ready to see Bella. After pulling and stretching and a few drugs Bella had 4 pups! Three girls and one boy. Unfortunately the boy got fluid in his lungs and the vet couldn't save him. Bella was put thru a lot and we're glad she didn't have to go thru a C-section. She has been a great mom and the 3 girls are doing great! It's fun to watch the puppies grow.




The last exciting news is that I got a store!! I am no longer floating thank goodness! I don't know how much longer I would have made it. I did not enjoy it at all! I started last week and it is right up the street from my house. It couldn't have worked out better!
