College, crates, and air freshener

Goodness, these puppies are getting big!  Today, I put two large dog crates in the pen, nice and comfy with pads, for the little ones to sleep in.  I'm dividing their territory between sleep, play and pee.  The pee goes on papers, hopefully, not in the play.  So far so good.  I'll just get a bit good at this and it'll be time for them to leave!

Izzy kept breaking out.  That girl is some genius or something.  Kirby was second to get out, and now the pen is better.  That cardboard box just didn't do, so a crate allows us people in and out status, while the puppies sleep below.  Kind of Japanese thinking at its best--apartments, efficiency, stacking units...only Ellie's having a hard time getting used to the in and out.  So she stands, towering over the babies, on top of a blue crate.  Well, she doesn't want to nurse anymore anyway.  Last night at midnight, she was awfully uncomfortable, and I expressed milk from her.  Kind of like milking a cow, only with ten teats.  Umph.  Quite a business!

This morning, Enright Asphalt showed up to seal the blacktop.  Surprise!  Moved vehicles and got the big dogs in.  Later, Andy had a serious decision to make concerning college courses.  Too late to drop/add, but he didn't like the film courses, so he's going to quit and work and move out of the house into an apartment....  Whew.  And we have a house showing tomorrow with the realtor.  The ultimate clean up job.  

Geoff's just walked in from Yoga.  McKenzie's spraying air freshener in the dining room.  Definitely time for dinner!  Best to all.
