Three days after Dom finished school the changes began. The flooring we have been eying and budgeting for went on sale at costco and we bought it the next day. With Dad's help, they started tearing out the carpet amd starting to lay the flooring on father's day weekend. This project became a week of living in a mess, but we managed and it was worth it.
The biggest new is that we found a new home for Ramsey. This was a hard decision that Dom and I have been talking about for awhile. A few months ago we were really close to putting an add on craiglist and then decided the timing just wasn't right. We started to talk about it again in the month of June and on a whim, I put a notice on facebook. That night we got three inquiries! After talking with my second cousin Cheryl, she was the one! It is such an answer to prayer because we wanted him to go to someone we knew and Cheryl was looking for a dog and has been praying that she would know when the right dog came along!! And she lives 45 minutes from Lake Cavanaugh so we get to see him whenever we are up there!!! She also has a yard with a doghouse and lives in walking distance from an off leash dog park near a river where Ramsey can swim. Her parents also have a lab (that Ramsey played with last summer) and they live on a lake and have kyaks, so she can take Ramsey Kyaking too (one of MANY things Dom taught him to do!). So on Father's Day we drove up to Centralia, Washington to give Ramsey to Cheryl. Dom spent an hour and a half with Cheryl and Ramsey, going over many details, etc. and then we drove off. It was the best decision, and he went to the best person, but it was so hard. I cried for two days. I was surprised at how attached I was to him. But it is very peaceful in our house again, Dom's stress level has significantly lowered, and the place is almost hairless!!
Our wonderful, crazy Ramsey
