New Puppy!

On Friday, July 9, 2010, I met LuLu at the Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society. I fell in love with this little bouncing furball! I decided to place a hold on LuLu because there was another family that was very interested in adopting her and they placed a hold on her before me. I came home on Friday evening and spoke with my landlady about getting another dog, and she was open to it, so I decided that I would get LuLu if Barbara (from the humane society called me on Saturday).

On Saturday July 10, 2010 I called Barbara at 12:30pm and asked her if the family had decided if they wanted LuLu or not. She said that they went home to talk about it as a family, and that she would call them by 3:00pm and then she would let me know.

At 2:48pm I got a call from Barbara saying, "OK, come pick up your dog!" I was so excited! Sam and LuLu had to meet to make sure they got along (and of course they did!). So, by 4:30pm I had adopted my second dog, Lulu!

On the car ride home!

Since leaving the shelter, Lulu has been renamed twice. First I liked Lucy, then yesterday I decided I liked Lily better. She seems to respond to Lily much better than any of the other names. Here are some pictures we have taken since coming home :)

New Home!

Well, on July 2, 2010, my landlady of over three years asked me to move out so she could have more space. I totally understood why she wanted to do this, but at the same time, I was very nervous about having to find a new place with Sam. On July 3, I looked at a place, and by July 4th, I was all moved out! I live right down the street from my family, and I can have Sammy!

Here is my room, not completely unpacked, but looking like my room nonetheless!

My comfy bed!

You can see my collection of books, and the built in desk in the back.
There is also a walk in closet to the left of the desk!

My bathroom is all remodeled, and beautiful!

Suffice to say, I love my new place, and new roommates are great! I live with Ann, the owner, her daughter, Deanne, and Deanne's son, Benjamin who will be 3 in October!
