The puppy has arrived!

Stan is in VA for work for the next couple of weeks so he is leaving the blog up to me. I am definitely not as witty as Stan is but I'll try. On Saturday we arrived in Albuquerque to pick up our new puppy. We have decided to call her Barley. She is a cutie! Once you take a look at that little face you just fall in love. I weighed her on Sunday and she is about 20 pounds. I always think the scale is off on the heavy side, so we'll go with around 20 pounds.

Barley seems to have taken to our house rather well. She has lots of toys to chew on and she seems to like shoes as well. So all of our shoes are on tables or counter tops!

Well enough of my blabbering..what you really want is to see the pictures anway....so here she is!

This is Barley asleep in the car on the way home. She did very well in the car.

This is Barley enjoying a rawhide treat. She loves chewing on this bone.

Who can resist this face?

Just hangin' out in one of our game chairs.

This is Barley on a walk. She does really well on a leash so far considering this only her fourth time out. She loves sniffing everything and exploring the new terrain.

Remodel Project #2 - Guest Bedroom

For all of you who want to see are latest remodel project we basically just repainted our guest bedroom. It was plain white and boring. So we painted it a pale blue color with a chocolate stripes around the top. Stripes are a pain when you have textured walls...just an FYI. So here are the before and afters of the guest bedroom.
