Sometimes when I have on "nice" clothes, even I want a non hairy place to sit. That isn't a problem any more, only have LGD's. They get to come in for a nap sometimes, but do not get on the furniture.
I match my clothes to my pet's color. I had gray dog and 2 gray cats - gray pants. Now my black dog sheds more than anyone, so I have black pants. :lol:

That's a great solution. Affordable and fun. 😊.
Plus the wedding favors will be cute but cheap. I'm going to take a circle of wood attach a homemade candle to it then burn our names and date into. I might even spice the wood up by adding a small piece of ribbon and a flower or two. To really cut down on expenses (cost) I'm going to make my own bouquets (1 to keep and a smaller one to throw). And for the cake have a couple rounds (1 to keep for our first year anniversary and 1 to cut) and the rest will be cupcakes with decorated in the colors of the theme.

I'm guessing that y'all have closed and you are now moving!
We're closing on September 22 in the afternoon. Right now we are staying with friends We're going to be moving into our house on Friday seeing how that's when the water will be turned on. I wish it was sooner than that so I can get my Beagle out of doggy daycare but Kevin decided to send Kozmo (Beagle) there seeing how he's a little wild thing (He's 18 months old). I stopped by the doggy daycare yesterday to see him because I'm having an issue with being separated from him (only other time was last year and he was just a small pup then when I had to go to NY for my Mom's services then Kevin and I went on vacay when I got back from there)

By this time tomorrow we will almost be NEW HOMEOWNERS!! I so can't wait to hold keys in my hand that no one can take back without a fight. We are also doing a final walk through tomorrow afternoon before the closing. It was a long hard process but to finally be able to have a house is a great accomplishment that is well worth the wait and hard work.

Good Morning All! Hope everyone had a great blessed Thanksgiving! I attached pics of the outside of the house, not quite done decorating but cars are still stopping in the middle of the streets, rolling down windows to get a good look. My FH already said every year once the Christmas deco goes on sale (after Christmas/ End Of Year Sales) we're going to get more deco to add more exciting and different things every year.

Hi all!
Here's a quick update about me:
In November my fiance and I moved to a studio apartment with plans to save for a 1 bedroom apartment which was in our gasps (we were going to move into on April 1st) but his brother has taken a turn for the worse so to give him the care he needs we are going to move back with him.

For my birthday last year Kevin got me a beagle puppy. I named him Kozmo. He was just a little over 6 weeks old and only weighed 3 lbs 6 ozs in that picture. The second pic is him (2 of our other dogs are pictured with him) now and he weighs 34 lbs. He just turned 1 last month and he's as bad as a toddler!!! But I still love him!!! So now we have 4 dogs and they are handful but I wouldn't have it any other way.
