a new home... for now! and two new best friends (david's two dogs... sandy on the left and sadie on the right...)
sadie's not so best friend...
so, all of our things are in 110 boxes. waiting to be moved. it's weird... weirder to watch someone load up all of your things. then, to dinner with david's boss and wife (after getting the kids...). why do the kids choose a night like this to be EXCEPTIONALLY whiny and fussy at dinner? anyway... it was still a lovely dinner in my book! (could it be that it was my third meal of carne asada in 24 hours? and at my favorite restaurant???)
so, we came back to our friends' house (they so graciously agreed to let us stay here while they are out of town), and nora told me (once the excitement wore off of being here), "i want to go home". it was so sad to tell her that we really don't have a home anymore. that we are looking for one.
our dog is going on an extended visit to grammie and grandpa. she took a red-eye flight last night to boston. i was a little anxious, since sadie is known to not do so well in crates. but, she seemed to do well. so, here's the email we got this morning about her first meetings of the new family members! i hope it makes you laugh like it did me!!

Dad let Sadie and me out of the car so we could walk across the field to the house while he went to get Sandy (outdoor introductions). They seem to be fine -- a bit of half-hearted barking from Sandy every now and again, but back in the house, all seemed okay.
But then Opus appeared around a corner and just STARED, wide-eyed, for several seconds. Then he dashed around behind the basement door (which we keep hooked, ajar, for Opus to get to his litter box) and there was a stand-off, with Sadie on one side and Opus peering around from behind the door. Then Sadie got too close and there was a hiss and some claws -- and when Sandy came to see what was happening, she got the brunt of the hissing and claws! I think we may end up with dog solidarity against the feline world... we'll see!
