Well my friends,

This has been a week of challenges. On top of everything life throws at us I showed you a clip of "Dallas" my newly acquired family member. We are getting along famously. Including Jill although she still gets a little perturbed that her quiet world of "Old dog rest" is being disrupted.

Dallas came home with me on Tuesday afternoon after a semi-traumatic neuter session and was still groggy from his anesthesia. He recognized "home" after having to stay at the animal shelter for three days while all was being prepared at home....or so I thought.

I am trying to be a good master and make the right decisions and to acclimate him properly.

To Date the expenses have been occurring quite rapidly and my head is spinning!!!

ACTUAL ADOPTION: no biggie....$85.00

New chain link dog run with product and labor..............$950.00

Target/Walmart, toys, food, bed, collar, leash, bowls, brush, etc....$103.00

Wellness appointment with Vet....yet to be determined

FINDING MY DOG......PRICELESS!

Thursday after the completion of the fence I finally was able to let him in the yard and go do some necessary shopping without worrying whether or not my sofa would become a chew toy. So, in he goes in to his very own brand new dog run and off I go shopping.

Home from shopping three hours later I went to let him out of the dog run.

NO MORE DALLAS

Dog gone.

Panic, shock, disbelief, mourning, fear and dread were just the beginning of what I was feeling. After throwing the goods into the fridge I ran out to start driving to look for him.

Around the corner came a very smiley Dallas with the look on his face like "where have you been?

Smart dog came home. He had simply dug two feet under the fence and let himself out.

So, Monday there is more work to be done on the fence and I'm quite sure there are more challenges to come but we are going to be a happy family soon enough!

NOW, BACK TO REAL ESTATE. WHEW.

FOR YOUR OWN ADOPTION IN WALKER COUNTY (and you don't have to spend what I have)
