new place for living



sorry for the long time no update....but hey...if your really thirsty, the longer it takes for you to get that cold glass of water the better its going to taste.





So we got a new place, much bigger, better neighborhood that sort of thing. I have been filling my time with keeping the lawn up messing around in the garage. These first pictures are of the work i have been doing in the back yard. We had to do a lot of tree trimming and the bugs that lived in the trees were killing all the grass. So i had to plant some new grass.
















This vid is a little tour of the house. It is much more recent and has the back yard now.



*the vid isnt uploading. i have tried 3 times and im sick of having my computer on all day. i'll try later.


now me and chelsey have some big news. After about a year of discussion and preparations we have decided that it is time to add a new member to the family. Her name is Zoe.






she is a french bulldog. They are rare and way too expensive. The are basically deformed bulldogs and because of that it is very hard to have a healthy one, but after many vet test she has an above average spine and everything else is a picture of good health.

She was bread to be a show dog from a line of champion frenchies, but a clef pallet and a extra nipple on one side made her unacceptable to breed. She is three pounds over weight but has already lost about half a pound with us, having to take walks every days and spent 4 days camping. She is very shy at first but now has to follow me or chelsey everywhere. she is very well behaved but she will be going to a training class pretty soon.

We forgot to take a picture but likes the water but because of their dense body and short snouts, they cannot keep above water so she wears a life jacket. (so does the neighbors pug)

Happy birthday mom.

She is a good looking dog- nice work on the short hair. Try to upload the video again- I want to see the back yard. (However, if the file is to big it won't upload. I'm not sure how many MB is the limit, but that might be your problem. I think blogger only alllows 50 MB at a time, although I could be wrong. By the way, a dog in a life jacket sounds hilarious. Another question: are you going to come to CO for Christmas? We need to do some more boarding and hanging out. Give Zoe a pat for me.

Congrats on the newest member of the family. We missed you over the 4th--it was quite a riot. The yard looks great. Is it a condo? Why are you in charge of the yard?

I absolutely love frenchies, i am dying to see a pic of Zoe in the lifejacket. She is so cute- don't you have an extra nipple too, Levi? We missed you big time over the holiday- you certainly missed out on some major family pyrotechnics, and I don't mean fireworks. Good times. :) Keep the updates coming.

Hey,
Long time no see! Glad you two are settled. Zoe is sweet. How much does she weigh? How old is she? Do your cats like her?
all the group is already talking about Christmas break. Looking forward to trying for a family photo. Shall we include Zoe too?

Congradulations. You luck dog owner. You now receive years of love, loyalty, and slobbery kisses. Also, tons of poo to clean up :) Glad to hear that you two are moving up in the world, upgrading surroundings.
