A long time...

So it turns out that maybe I am not so good at this blogging thing! Finding the time to get on here and write anything has been tough, but here I am now.

When I started this blog, my brother had just moved in with us, he had a new job here in Indy and was living with us until he got on his feet and could find a place of his own. While he was here, he got a call for another job, a job he had wanted all along. He would be a photographer at Penn State, filming documentaries for their PBS arm, that sort of thing - his dream job with top of the line equipment. So, he ended up getting the job, and he took it, and he left this last Tuesday. I have been feeling so sad, it turned out to be so wonderful having him here with us! It was so nice to have someone home to talk to during the day when everyone else was at school and work, and we have a lot in common so it was fun to talk about the things that we share, especially our love of dogs. I am REALLY going to miss him, and so is Chip. Chip spent almost every night with P.D., he slept in the bed with him, kept him company while he was watching TV or listening to music....Chip loves his mama, but he sure loved P.D. too! It was kind of a tough week, losing our house guest, all the holiday company leaving, and then taking down all the holiday stuff - it seems a little lonely around here!!!

We have a new foster pug, his name is Brewster (what am I going to do without P.D. here to take pictures for me! The pictures on this blog and my other sites will definitely go downhill!!). He is black, 5 years old, and a real doll. Annabelle has let him know several times that she is the boss, poor guy, but he seems to like the other dogs anyway. He is a BIG guy - 34 pounds! We are cutting back on the food for sure! He likes to mark things, so I hope we can get past that at some point, but with three other males in the house, who knows....

Vacation is over - back to normal life on Monday - hopefully I will be able to post more on here....
