Staying Cool

So... I'm writing my first post on this blog and it's so freaking HOT! Not only outside but in my house too! The highs have been over 100 degrees the last three days, the animals don't even want to go outside! I bought the dogs a kiddie pool the other day and Lilly loved it, Hatfield not so much. Anyways it lasted all of one day before Lilly chewed a hole in the side. I  guess I need to buy them another one since it's so freaking hot, but I know it won't last long. 

Lilly is 7 months old and rotten! I've had her since she was three weeks old. My brother's lab had puppies, 11 mind you. Well some things happened and he couldn't be at home to take care of Bella (his lab) and her 11 babies. So... they came to live with me and my two animals! All I can say is I had a house full. I'm glad Kev loves me and my animals! He never complained at all about the whining and all the chaos. And that's how I came to love Lilly. She was the sweetest of them all (at least to me she was). You may notice in the picture that she doesn't have a tail. Weird. Right? Several of the puppies  had a short stub but Lilly had no tail at all. Come to find out their bladder muscles are controlled by the nerve endings in the tail. You guessed it. She can't control her bladder! What does this mean? She wears a diaper around the house. I know! I know! What can I say I fell in love with her and was no way I giving her up just because of her little problem or making her stay outside. It doesn't seem to bother her to wear a diaper. She knows when she comes in she has to go to the laundry room and she lets me put it on her. So that's the story of Lilly. I'm sure you will hear plenty more about her, Hatifield, and Perla if you come back and visit!



By the way... She and Perla love each other!

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
