This Is Not Funny....Mother Nature!

What's up with all of this? We had 80 degree weather earlier in the week. We had a little snow on Friday and then 5-7" yesterday and more is predicted for later this week. :::sigh::: Mama says at least we are not moving this weekend.

On the bright side, the pizza man came last night. The pizza bones were very good.

We Have An Announcement!

After 12 days of negotiations, we have bought a house!!!! Sound the trumpets! We had an agreement on price and then we had the inspections and at that point, we thought it was all going to fall through. We didn't get everything we wanted and we are sure the homeowners didn't get everything they wanted, but in the end, I think we are all happy.

Mama is getting very excited about our new home. She already knows where she wants to hang the bird feeders and the hummingbird feeder. She has really missed feeding the birds this past winter. We hope that the raccoons leave us alone at the new house.

Daddy says the house feels right to him. It's 1,248 square feet. Our old house was 2,611 square feet, but since our hotel room is only about 600 square feet, the new house will feel big to us.

I will have a deck to lay on this summer and Scout will have a yard to run laps in. Oh, sure, I will run a little, but I prefer to run in the house. Mama says it's really not big enough to run it, but it there's a hallway, it's big enough.

The best news is that the house will be paid for in cash and we will not have a mortgage! That was our goal and that's why we sold our "dream house" in the first place.

The Greyhound Who Is Not Happy Today & Sent Scout Out To Pose For Pictures

Spring Scenes At Our Hotel

We have been having really nice weather here. It's been in the 70's and 80's. The tulips are blooming!

Scout is more impressed in the flowers than I am or maybe she is impressed with the spot on the concrete.

The trees are budding out.
Mama's allergies are acting up. No photo of that.

Scout thinks it's already too hot to walk and it is doing her impression of a train caboose. We have to pull her along.

Here we are back at our room. The magnet says "Pets Inside", which means, enter at your own risk. LOL

Yes, it was a very short walk. What can I say, we took this walk right before Judge Judy came on and we didn't want to miss a second of her.

I Want To Be A Bed Tester

(Scout who is an expert bed tester.)

Yesterday, Mama and Daddy went bed shopping. We thought we should be able to test out the beds since we spend most of the day sleeping on it, but they said no. They tried out a Sleep Number. Mama thinks Scout would be a 30 and I would probably be a 55. They don't think they are going to buy one though because the salesperson said it would take at least three weeks to get it and we have a little less than that time and Mama doesn't want to take the chance of it not arriving on time and then we would all be sleeping on the floor. The sales woman may have just said that so that they would order yesterday, but it kind of backfired on her. They found a couple of beds that they like and they will make a decision next weekend and order it then.

Daddy is busy scheduling inspections today. We are going to have two to three inspections done. We hope to get them done this week so that we know for sure that we are buying the house. Our closing date is scheduled for April 8th.

The pizza man doesn't come to the new house. It's not in the boonies, but it's just far enough from town that no one will deliver. It's only 2.5 miles from a major highway but there are no pizza places around. There is a Burger King, so we will get our fill of Junior Whoppers. We are going to miss the pizza man. Mama says we will have the pizza man and the Chinese food man both come one more time before we leave.

The two Italian Greyhounds left on Saturday. There were six more dogs that came in on Saturday. We think they have all left already. The hotel always has the carpet cleaners come in after pets leave the room, so it should be a busy day for them today.

We are having very nice weather. Mama wore a t-shirt on our walk this morning - no jacket. We have our air conditioning running and it's only 8 a.m. The trees are budding out. Robins are every where. Bunnies are teasing us. It's spring time!

Have you seen the Eagle cam? It's very interesting. It shows three baby eaglets being cared for by their Mom and Dad. We've been watching it since Friday and we have Grandma hooked on it too. It's pretty neat when either the Mom or Dad brings in a fish or other food for the "kids" to eat.

The Greyhound Who Is Happy That Spring Is Here....Finally!

We Are Under Contract!

We signed the paperwork last night for our new house. It's the house that has the slanted floor. Weeeee! I'm going to do some sliding on that floor. Mama told me that the new house doesn't have a super wide hallway like the old house so I need to be careful because I crashed into the wall at the old house and broke it and it was much wider. Well, I got so excited about the new house that I started doing donuts in the room and I crashed into the wall and yep, I broke it. I broke a little piece of the wall off. Daddy will have to try an fix it. Oops! I guess it's a good thing that we may be leaving soon.

I can't show you pictures yet because we don't own it. We are just under contract. We have to do an inspection and if all goes well, we will be moving in three weeks!

Mama and Daddy drove us by the house today. It looks fine to us. It's pretty plain, but we think we will be happy there. We then drove a long way to a state park that we used camp at and we walked around there for a while. It was a good day.
