Done Done Done

So the yard is finally DONE!!!! We installed the path over the weekend which took longer then we thought but of course nothing is new with that. I also finished up the front gate by building it and then cutting the tops off the posts and installing the final post caps. It went in pretty well with only a few hiccups but all in all it was great to be finally done! When I get a chance I will post some pictures.

Yesterday we had a visitor stroll on in to the back yard. It was a friendly older dog. He had an insteresting ridge along his back and he mostly just walked around and pissed on everything. Puma loved it becuase he turns into a puppy around dogs that come into HIS yard. So of course he wasn't wearing a collar so we closed the gate and tried to figure out what we were going to do. Then Emma had the idea that maybe he just belonged to one of the neighbors down the street so I started to walk down and ask around. One couple didn't know english so I tried to ask them in Spanish and it turned out they don't have a dog so that was easy to figure out.

Then I came across another neighbor outside loading stuff in his truck and he turned out to be the owner. Said he never noticed he was gone. As we walked back he said " Oh you guys are the one with the new yard....looks nice!!" That was nice to hear. He then introduced us to his lost boy, Rudy the Ridgeback!
