We close on the sale of our house the first week of November. Then we lease it from the new owner until we move into our future house–I just handed over earnest money and option pending checks–after mid December. We won’t be in the new Compound and unpacked by Christmas–but we just may be able to ring in the new year there. Everyone here is excited!
I don’t have photos of the new place yet, since I don’t think the current owner would appreciate me traipsing through it with my camera. But of course I’ll be flooding this blog with pictures sooner or later.
Meanwhile, you know what keeps us busy.
Between us, Tom and I gave these three their freedom rides out of the pound, though we didn’t foster them. They’ve all left for their new homes in Colorado.
One day I picked up these three and let them hang out at our house for a few hours until their foster mom could come get them.
Graham, Phil, and Darby definitely filled Craft Night with puppiness. They just left for Colorado today.
And for the last week, we’ve been taking care of these two toy-hoarding, chow-loving miscreants.
Gina Ann and Sarah Beth will travel to Colorado next week. You can see how stirred up they keep Margot and Guinness.
I love the names and I love you❤️❤️
I love you, too! =)
Yay! Yay! Hurray! So happy for your domicile successes! Anxious to see your new digs!
I can’t WAIT to take photos. Thank you!
I want it clearly understood that I totally did NOT suggest sneaking over in the middle of the night with a camera and taking pictures through the windows. 😉
That should be a Photo Friday topic.
So are you going to have a contest on what to call the new place? Will it be Compound II Electric Boogaloo? The Complex? The Villa? Casa De Compound, Chateau Le Compound? The Compost? The Conglomerate? Dog Hall?
We will consider all suggestions. Though I have to admit to having a liking for Dog Hall.
how about Chateau Le Chien
or for a germanic feel … Hund Hall!
Mutt Mansion!
Paws Palace
Dogworth Station
4 paw Ranch
I like this one, because I know a little French and it reminds me of a movie with Snoopy, root beer and the Red Barron.
how exciting for all, congratulations! we look forward to visiting.
Thank you–we can’t wait for you to visit!
wait for that option period to end…
i am SO excited for you!!!!
my suggestion today: Palacio para perros (Palace for dogs)
Thanks! At least I have plenty of time to pack. =)
I can’t wait to see pics!!!!!
I can’t wait to see the house again! I’ve mentally rearranged the furniture about a zillion times.
you are going to need more furniture – like lots of guest beds!
At present count, we would be able to sleep six guests in the house. Although at least in one of those beds, a pacing Guinness might not allow for a lot of sleep. (She being the reason I woke up at 4 AM today.)
not to mention all the storage in the kitchen!!!
I drool when I think of it.
How exciting! Can’t wait to see pics of your new home. (I vote for “Dog Hall.”)
I liked Dog Hall but now Mark L has said Dog House, and that sort of reminds me of Doll House, which is what we called Tim’s current apartment when all my dolls were on display over there. (Which used to creep my guests out, and I think it was Tim who, one time when he was visiting, switched out one Ken and Barbie couple’s fashions to see how long it would take me to notice. It didn’t take long, though I think it was after he’d gone back to New York.)
I am so looking forward to seeing pics of Dog House! I will be green with envy, I am sure.
You will have nothing to envy–your home is wonderful, and I’ve loved watching how you and Chris have made it your own.
I always like it when Facebook leads to an old memory.
You got very close with your naming suggestion of Hund Hall. Houndstooth was the natural progression for a Bama alum.
