I Daniel Roop am….the “Dog Whisperer”…i wish.
I choose this as the intro to my post because it pretty much sums up my life over the past couple weeks. My life has been crazy over the past month. So I figured a summary post would be appropriate.
So Jeni and I have bought a house. The closing was on March 15th, I think. But let’s start that monday. On Monday Jeni, my sister Joyce, and I went to see a litter of puppies. Well in that litter we found our little Kye Lynn (for photos see previous post). I wanted to wait until after the closing, but as always I caved to Jeni and her beautiful puppy dog eyes, begging me to get her. So we took Kye home. The first night was not too bad. Our apartment was mostly in boxes, so there wasn’t much she could get into. We tried to put her in the bathroom to sleep, but she was not happy with that, so we let her roam the bedroom. I know everyone will say this is not a good idea, but so far it is working for us. The nice thing about getting Kye this early was because Jeni was on spring break so she was able to stay home with her all week.
So the week went on and wednesday March 15 we went to the title company to do our closing after work. Everythign was going so good with the closing, that I was very oppotomistic about the last day to wrap up just fine. Well turns out I was nieve. After signing just about all the documents we find out that the Sellers had some Canadian Tax problem. I will not go into details, but long story short, they wanted to keep a good chucnk of his earnings for income taxes, and he was not aware. We ended up finishing signing, but we left that night not knowing whehter we owned the house. The next morning, the seller gave me a call letting me know that he got the tax problem taken care of and the title company was finishing the processing. So we officially owned our house.
That weekend I had movers scheduled. Let me tell you what…big shout out to Small Moves. The took a little longer than the quoted me, raking in just under 4 hours, but they made it looks so easy, and it was so well worth the money not to have to move that furniture down those stairs. I did notice that a couple pieces got some knicks, but nothing I am too worried about. I was glad that we moved everything that was important to us ourselves.
So now we have been in our house, and we have taken Kye through a through different training tactics, but over all she is doing very well. My hands and arms probably wouldn’t agree, as the most recent attempt has been to be the pack leader, and she is not exactly accepting when I show my dominance. But she is learning.
My advice in all of this. Don’t get a dog and buy a house in the same week….Bad Daniel!
