The latest

Been a while since my last update, but have no fear! This month was well documented.

First of all, this month was the 9th birthday of our beloved puppy Norman! He is 9 years old, getting greyer everyday...but still going strong. Happy Birthday Norms!

Norman has kinda been hating his life because the kitties have decided that they LOVE him. And I mean love with a capitol L. This poor dog can't even go poop without two little friends following him around.  Eating in peace? This is also not something he can do anymore. They are always there...keeping my poor anti-social dog company whether he likes it or not.

It's getting colder here, and my kitties needed a warmer place to stay...so the winter house was built!  My friend sent me a post from pinterest on how to build a outdoor kitty house out of tubs and hay. This is my version. A tub in a dog house surrounded with hay. Norman can't turn around in his house anymore, so this was a perfect reuse.

As you can see, there is a space that has been dug out at the very top of the house. That was toonces. She apparently wanted her own space.

The boys are still loving hanging out in the gutters on the roof.  And they have all turned into snuggle buddies with me....yes!

In other news, we have finally started our excavation project in the back of the house. The drainage is terrible back there (the house flooded right after we moved in. Worst. Night. Ever.) and we needed to fix it before the rainy season started. We still have alot of work ahead of us, but atleast the grading is done!

Here's the before....

And after.

The bobcat was SUPER fun! I really enjoyed that part of the work.

The next big project will be building a fence for Norms for the holidays. And a bigger dog house. :)
