Sorry, no pictures yet. But the house is nearly done. The painting touch ups are being done. The final inspections will be completed today, and we will have a certificate of occupancy. The closets are ready to be installed with their shelves and stuff. The baseboard trim is nearly complete. Carpets go in upstairs early next week. And as soon as the rest of the money comes in the chair lift for the stairs and the landscaping will be complete. There is much cleaning to be done. We expect/hope to move in about the 15th of April. Whee
We have a new family member. Bailey is a 7 year old dachshund rescue. She is what they call a "tweenie", not quite standard nor miniature. Her ideal weight is about 12 pounds, so she needs to lose about 3 pounds. She had to have extensive dental work done, including losing a lot of teeth. But she is much happier now for having those nasty abscessed teeth gone. Bailey is an absolute delight. Right now she is sleeping on Rex's sweatshirt, with her nose buried under the sleeve. She loves to burrow, which as I recall is a Dachsie trait. We adore her and wonder why we didn't have a dog until now. There will be more. Dachsies, I have discovered, are like cats. You can't just have one. Or is that potato chips. :D Pictures soon.

you must be very excited - about the house AND the new family member!
Dusty burrows his nose, too - I think it's so adorable when they do that!
I am grandmother to two dachies, Arwyn a mini and Yoda a regular size - both adorable, and very tempting when we toy with the idea of having a pet again (we had greyhounds previously)....and they do burrow wherever they perch - my son and dil say they head down to the foot of the bed under the covers. Good luck with the remainder of your building adventure and the moving.

Can't wait to see pics, of the new house and the new family member too!
