Some things that have happened in the past 6 months:
We adopted a puppy. His name is Duke. He is an adorable 5 1/2 month old golden retriever mix. We think he is mixed with german shepherd, but we are not certain. We did one of those dog DNA tests and it came back that he is half Chihuahua and a mixed other half with harrier hound and others- with no trace of golden retriever. I find that REALLY hard to believe so for now we will completely discredit the DNA results until he is fully grown. He's 30 pounds now so if he stays this size, I can see that he may be a Chihuahua mix. However, we are really hoping we are right in our estimate of 50-60 pounds.
Here's a pic of when we first got him at 10 weeks (ignore my crazy hair- it was really windy that day):
And now at 5 1/2 months:
Other happenings:
I finally finished my basement stairs project. Yay! It only took me 6 months.
We built a small patio in the front. It's quite lovely.
We had bats in our attic and had to get them removed. Yikes!
I gave our garage door a makeover. One of my favorite projects so far.
I will try my best to post on the above topics in the following weeks. We are soaking up summer right now and trying to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in Minneapolis!
Cheers!
