Slow Going

The good news is, Steve and I are in NO hurry to sell our home.  The bad news . . . our home has not yet sold.  Apparently the housing market is down (insert sarcasm here) and we have had very little interest in our condo.  So far, we have had 4 open houses and the total number of visitors who were not neighbors is ZERO.  The house has only been shown a few times outside of that but as Steve said . . . it only takes one buyer. 

We are still keeping with the plan and will keep it on the market until the end of August so keep your fingers crossed.

Having a puppy . . . similar to a baby?

I have decided that having a puppy is somewhat similar (or good practice at least) to having children on a much smaller scale.

So here are my comparisons:
  • In the early stages there is the random night time wake-ups
  • My husband and I now talk about pooping and peeing as one of our main topics of conversation
  • Rearranging schedules in order to take care of the dog
  • Taking the puppy for play dates and trying to find my puppy "friends" to play with
  • Unsolicited advice from strangers on how to raise my puppy
These are just some of the things I have noticed since having a puppy . . . oh how things changed since Nellie came along.

Here is an updated pic of Nellie at 14 weeks.

Tales of Home Sales

Steve and I have decided to put our condo on the market and see what happens.  It was officially listed yesterday but getting it ready was SO much work!  We did an intense spring cleaning, including the garage.  We painted, we cleaned the carpet, we cleaned out EVERY closet.  Check out our listing and cross your fingers for a fast sale.
