Reno Hell

So the bathroom is on its way, finally! It was been gutted and new sub floor is down. We've (of should I say my husband with help from my dad) put in the new toilet and got the new tub into place. So much work is ahead it is making my head spin! I seriously hate the dust flying around the house, it is giving me a bit of an anxiety attack!!! I know this is only the start to it too since the new dry wall isn't even up yet... lets just hope my husband does a better job of confining the bathroom when he is sanding than he did with the kitchen lol.
The good thing is at least we can have a bath in the tub, no shower yet... that is still days away. I need to start looking into tile for my floor and pick out the baseboards as well. No rush I know that! My poor husband is working his heart out but things are still coming very slowly. I was pretty excited yesterday when our sink went on sale for $100 cheaper! It should be here next week...
I am so excited to see the end result, but seriously not loving the war zone going on inside the house. It is a good thing the baby still isn't walking or that would be a big addition to the stress. Liam is loving helping with whatever he can get his hands on but still wants Morgan to spend all his time taking shots on him in net lol.
Well I guess I shouldn't complain too much, the worst is over... by that I mean by getting all the old bathroom out... that is a dirty job! and believe me I'm not going to miss anything about that old bathroom... seriously a pink toilet? Shouldn't there be laws against that? lol

Husky = Hair and lots of it!

Here we are the middle of February and my husky has decided to blow his coat! It isn't spring yet!!! Grrr... People who don't have a northern bread dog seriously have no idea to the amounts of hair that is shed. I pulled out enough hair out of my dogs back leg to build a golden retriever! I wish I was exaggerating but sadly it is the truth... and the truth is a rough thing to deal with when I had to groom him inside my house and get fur all over the place... and all over myself. I'm scared if I venture outside looking like this the SPCA will pick me up as a stray! haha...
Dealing with the hair is a hard thing but dealing with my dogs insane behavior while he gets groomed is a whole other thing. He goes mental... and I mean mental! He is usually the sweetest, funniest, kind hearted dog but when he sees the brush he turns into a vicious wolf!!! It takes minimum two people to brush him and the person at his head needs a pair of thick gloves on to hold down the beast! lol. I can understand why he hates it so much, it is simple, his last owner was abusive to him. When we adopted him from the rescue his hair was totally shaved off of his body! Umm are we retarded? You NEVER shave a husky! They can control their body temperatures, it is a very uncommon gift that they have and other K9s don't!
I know some people are of the opinion that dogs don't hold grudges but I'm going to have to disagree on that one. Dogs are not stupid and they remember past traumas.
Just one last quick note to people who read this, please support your local rescues/humane society/SPCA... and when you get a pet make sure it is a forever home... don't take on the responsibility if you can't handle it. No matter if it is a cat, dog or anything, animals deserve respect and love and nothing but!!!
