Well, we're in--thank goodness. It was a rough couple of days, but things are settling down a little now. The dogs really seem to enjoy it here--the yard isn't fenced yet, so they still have to go out on leashes, but there is a huge field out back, so we have lots of potties:)
The move itself went very smoothly--I left the dogs with their vet for the day (we figured it would be easier to have them not underfoot), but things got a little chaotic on Tuesday. Around 3pm, the landscapers came to do an estimate for us--at the same time, the phone company came, the cable guy came, and my friend stopped by with a cheesecake:) We had some issues with the phone lines (in fact, they're out there right now digging all over the place), but everything else was good. Since my friend stopped by, I took her with me to help get the dogs (I took all 3 of them in the morning, and it was tough), and when we got back, one of my hubby's friend's was there with his little boy. I was worried, because Kito doesn't usually like kids, but he was so good--this kid has no fear either--Kito barked at him because he was in the dog's pen, and he just growled back--it was funny.
Then, somehow, the dogs got out:eek: Abbey and Riley went out front, and came back when we called. But, you-know-who decided to take a tour of the neighborhood. He went out back by the field, running and running and running, with a big smile on his face, there I was in tears, afraid he was going to run to the highway--we tried everything to lure him back--not that stubborn INU!!! Finally, he decided to come back by the houses, and went right up on the neighbor's front porch--I snagged him up, and gave him kisses and hugs, I was so glad to have him back with me!!!!
Other than that incident, we're all doing well. When the dogs came home for the first time, they found their toys and their food and beds, and their whole special area just for them, and best of all, now they have stairs to run up and down 100 times a day!!!!
