Mid July Update

I have been very busy, but overall doing well. My very hyper foster Aussie got adopted. YEAh! One mamma cat and five babies went back to center to go up for adoption! Dxqqsq (Angle just jumped on keyboard to say hi, I guess.) Just had to put out some vet money this month. I got another tiel in from the pound. Her stools didn't look rite so took her in for blood work $300. Has some liver/kidney problems. We are trying diet adjustments. Then she flew and landed badly nearly taking out her eye. Back to the vet $100. Had to have special meds because the more regularly used one would have killed her to use with her current medical problems. Knowing this, priceless!

For the house, work is progressing, but some sad/good news. They are tearing down more of the interior walls. Well all of the rest of them. The front of the house had been left alone, but because new plumbing and wiring needed to go in, and with asbestos and lead paint in the walls, well they ad to go. Sad because hardly anything of the past is left which is what makes old homes charming, but considering the contents, I guess all is for the better. I hope and think that they will try to match what the interior look like with rounded ceilings, trim everywhere and what not. They put in doors and windows, started plumbing and HAC configuring. Roofing starts next week. They keep promising that by the end of August, they will be done. So keep those bags packed for September evening barbeque!
Pix will be coming soon. I go back and forth between the two houses taking pix and watering and keeping the men hopping!
Take care.
