Things to note:
1. "old slappers" is one of the search engine referrals I keep getting.
2. Looking at houses is exciting, but exhausting. We put in an offer on a house...but, I don't think we have much a chance for it. Either way it is a good learning experience, and I'm feeling unexpectedly calm about it.
3. The beagle is on strict cage rest for 2-3 weeks. It seems she's thrown her back out and we are "lucky" that she hasn't blown a disc. Poor beanie.
