Besides my post about Ryder (who is currently in a foster home right now, yay!), I have not blogged since Christmas. I have several excuses, but only a couple of them are legitimate. Here is the biggest one: We’re moving!
Most of my extra time has been spent getting our house ready to sell and looking for a new house. We ended up buying a new house before our house was even on the market, which added some serious stress to our lives. But once we spent a couple weekends touching up some paint and fixing a few things, we listed our house and it sold in two weeks!The Mr. and I couldn’t believe it when we got the offer in and we are officially moving in just a few more weeks.
While I am so happy about how painless the process was, I am struggling to balance the sad emotions of leaving a familiar place with the happiness of a bigger, newer house. On top of that, I have had to think about the dogs’ adjustment and making everything easy for them through the whole process. In the long run, I think the dogs will love the new house. We have a big fenced in yard, a nice neighborhood to walk in and our favorite trail system connects just minutes from our doorstep. The house is about 20 minutes south of Portland, in my hometown of Old Orchard Beach (and more importantly the home of Lisa’s Pizza and Pier Fries!). So now we will also be about 2 minutes from the beach instead of 20!
Besides dealing with house stuff, our winter break included a lot of snowblowing, playing in the snow, shoveling snow, and oh did I mention snow? 
With all the snow days and work form home days, the pups got a lot of snuggle time in.
Although I haven’t had a lot of spare time to blog, I have kept up on Facebook and Instagram, so make sure you like and follow us there! I will be sharing more about the move later, but for now, here are some of the things that happened during our three months of blog silence (in photos): 
Mr. & Mrs. & Nola Kisses 
Ugh – I don’t want to even think about snow anymore — even though we still have several snow mountains that have yet to melt completely.
I think it’s so funny – Tess and Ed have purple and red sweatshirts, respectively, that we put on them. LOVE!
Great minds! It’s easy for us if all the dog’s stuff is color coded, so everything of Nola’s is purple and everything of Sarge’s is red/orange!
Yay for new beginnings! Can’t wait to hear more about the new home and wishing you much energy and patience during the actual move! Love seeing pictures of the pups!!
Congrats on the new house and the move, I can’t wait to hear (and see) more about it!
Moving can be so stressful, but our boys handled it withou missing a beat, thankfully. I love the pics with the piles of snow on Nola’s pretty snout!
Congratulations on the new house…sounds perfect! Moving can be so stressfull but worth it in the end:) Can’t wait to see more pictures of your new home!
