I become a different person when the warm weather hits. I can't seem to keep myself inside! Even as I write this I am sitting on my front porch! So I will apologize now for the sketchy posting schedule!
Speaking of the porch, you know what I hate about spring? THE CLEANING!!
As many of you know, we have had 2 dogs the last few years. One passed away recently. The remaining dog, my lovely McKinley, spends a lot of time on the front porch. She is an outside dog. Crazy story, most of our family is allergic to dogs....but yet we own them!
This is McKinley:
Anyway, back to the porch. She spends most of her days on our front porch, especially in the winter time. Now don't go calling animal control on me, she is a Siberian Husky....she was made for frigid temperatures. She sleeps in our mud room at night, so she isn't that bad off! So having a dog live on your front porch all winter can be a little messy (white fur everywhere!). And it is hard to go out there and clean in 20 degree temperatures!
So that was my day yesterday......all afternoon.....hours of cleaning! I do love my front porch. It is enclosed, painted like the house, all beautiful windows that let the gorgeous sunshine in, a swing to enjoy...and the dog.
So now my front porch is lovely again, smells good, looks good, and still has a resident dog!!
Oh well, I love her!
Your dog is amazing. My girls want a dog so badly, but we are not quite ready for one in this house. I keep telling them that when they learn not to leave their dirty clothes in the middle of the living room, we will talk. :-)
ReplyDeleteI will admit I do not miss the dog hair from Reba but I miss her sometimes!
