Saturday! Sunshine! What a wonderful world!
I went to see L&J's new baby and break the news that we are moving to Toronto after all. I'm going to try and convince them to move into ours.
G put E down for his nap shortly after I got in this morning so we've enjoyed a quiet few hours of cuddling, making out, enjoying the sun and doing mildly inappropriate things on the rug in the garden. Our neighbours must love us.
My labrador, Honey is currently out with her soon-to-be new family. It's a series of odd coincidences really. G and I came home a month or so back and ran straight upstairs (if you know what I mean) and when we emerged from the bedroom an hour and a half later I realised that the front door was wide open and Honey was nowhere to be found. I ran all over the neighbourhood and the park and then started driving up and down every street I could find. I was worried sick as I had no idea how long she'd been gone for. My mobile rang and it was Petlog telling me that someone had found my dog and that the dog warden had scanned her microchip (as the litter of puppies we had a month or so ago chewed her tags off of her collar). He was going to bring her back to me but I was literally turning onto their street when my phone rang so I was parked about 10 houses away from them.
I drove to the house and realised that I recognised the woman who had my dog but couldn't for the life of me remember where I knew her from.
She greeted me with a shocked, "Oh wow it's you!".
"And you!" I replied.
It wasn't until after I'd got home and started smelling the digesting pancakes and fairy cakes my dog was expelling from her rear that it suddenly occurred to me that the women who had found her was the student nurse who had sat in on E's 2 year assessment just 2 days before.
I went back to their house the next day to drop off a thank you card and some balloons for the girls who had so generously shared their fairy cakes. M (as I now know is her name) told me that the girls love Honey and that they are desperate for a labrador of their own. I immediately told her of our impending move. Longer story shortened, found a new home for my DAWG!
The girls now walk Honey about 4 times a week and (they coincidentally have just dropped her off!) will be taking her for good in September. I feel good about this family although I'm almost certain she'll be fed garbage and be spoiled rotten!
I've made soup. It's odd how the less I eat, the more I enjoy cooking! I've got a pot of homemade chicken soup on the stove and the smell is making me feel happy. I'll be lucky if I eat a bowl but I've enjoyed making it!
There's some talk of heading to V&N's for the rest of the afternoon. G still hasn't seen their new place not that there is much to see. BORING. E's up now so I better get outside to play.
