Ayla decided it would be a good idea to serve herself lunch today. I had started soaking the veggie flakes portion of her lunch and was waiting until closer to noon to add in the tripe part of the meal. So I walked out of the kitchen to get something from another room...

Soooo tired
This was the hubby's last day off for this week so we decided to come home at around 2:30 so we could still have some time to relax on the couch and "prepare" ourselves for the short week ahead. Apparently the last 4 1/2 days have taken their tole on Ayla as well...
It keeps going, and going…
It was really great to sleep in our own bed last night. We both woke up feeling much more refreshed than we did the past few nights on the airbed. The air bed is certainly better than sleeping on the floor but it can't possibly be all that great for your back.We asked...
Day two of cleaning madness

Long day for doggo
Today was an extremely productive day for us. Our first order of business was to buy some pastries for breakfast from the local bakery and let Ayla get some excercise and take care of her business. So we went out with her at about 8 am which apparently was far too...
First day at the new house
We've been planning and thinking and buying things for the past week in preparation of this day and it's finally here. We are planning to spend the next four days in the house, cleaning things up and throwing away lots of junk and just getting things in order so we...
Our first day is done
Well, the first day is drawing to a close. We have made some progress already cleaning things up although we are no where near being able to let Ayla wander around freely yet. There is still too much trash around and there are piles of bird guano everywhere since no...
Our plans
Since there might be some who start reading this blog that we aren't regularly talking with, we figured we should probably give a bit of background about what exactly is going on. The situation is as follows. We are buying an old farmhouse in Germany. At the moment,...
