Uh-oh!

Though it looks like it could have ended very badly, Morgan (the dog) was just making sure that Iggy (the bearded dragon) understood that this is HER family room, not his.

Tune in tomorrow at 10:10 AM to see how it all turned out.

Amber

Deterrent

We have a weird dog.

She's a good girl, but sometimes cannot resist going up on the living room loveseat.

She is also deathly afraid of any type of electrical cord-- especially the one attached to the dreaded vacuum cleaner. (And, no, she was never beaten with a cord. We've known her since she was a pup and was always treated lovingly.)

We assembled these two facts about Morgan and have the perfect deterrent to keep her off of the furniture: we simply leave an extension cord on the loveseat and she won't go near it. See it there? Brilliant.

Now do you understand why I say she's weird?

101st post

Today marks my 101st post on this blog.

Ben Franklin, meet George Washington. George, Ben.

Now, if we could only find Sam Adams maybe we could have a beer to celebrate.

Be yourself

Don't worry about the others. They will look out of place, not you.

Planning

Started off innocently enough as "new cabinets". Then we figured we'd replaced the tile floor too. Now we're looking at completely gutting the first floor and going with a "Great Room" open floor plan. Scary, but exciting too.

Funny!

I guess the screener in the Wisconsin vanity plate division is either a Bears fan, or didn't get the joke.
