I hope that everyone else's Sunday is as beautiful as ours is here! Today in Richmond is 70 degrees and sunny, and it feels like Summer has finally poked its head out to look around!
Life is busy here at the Bell household. We have filled two plastic tubs with things that aren't essentials, but that we want to keep, and are heading up to MI to store them next weekend. We're so excited to be home again, and get a few more dogs situated - Toby, our Aussie, is going to a new foster home there. We're finding new homes for the books and odds and ends we have lying around the house that we never use. We just finished up five more Ebay auctions and are working on getting all of that sent out, as well as monitoring our Amazon account. Not only does it make it so we don't have to move those things, but it's also great because we can make a little extra money on the side while I'm not working.
Working on a tip from a friend, I've found a place to try to sell my quilting creations! Check out my new website here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/71873579/quilted-bag-sunflower-haze
Speaking of, we're working on re-homing and moving around all the dogs and cats in our possession as well. Today we had a bit of an adventure - we've had this dog with us for the last few days. He came to us as a stray, via one of the little girls who lives down the street. We've been calling him Zach, or Short Round:
He seemed really eager to head out, and being a hound, we figured he might know where he's going. So today we put him on a leash and let him take the lead. For all of you that have walked a hound, he was so excited to go it was almost painful on our hands. We wandered down to 7th street, down three blocks, back to 6th and then he started acting funny. He kept sniffing at porches, one, two, three, then he turned and beelined straight for a house and headed up onto the porch, so we knocked on the door. We asked the woman there if she knew him and, amazingly, he had taken himself home! His name is Burt, turns out, and he's 11 years old. She bottle fed him from an infant, because his mother (a Bassett/Beagle) was impregnated by a St Bernard/Golden, and didn't survive the birthing. She was working with a vet at the time, and took Burt as her own. What a great story, and we're so happy to have him back home (and out of ours)!More to come soon! We're hoping that next week's edition will be before and after photos of the house, so we'll see how well that pans out. Love to everyone on this wonderful day - now we're going outside!
