Today, the home renovations continue. Yesterday, the old flooring in the kitchen and dining room was removed an tossed into the large metal bin now parked on one side of our driveway. Also, the remaining furniture was moved to the basement. Because there's a second fridge and freezer in the basement, we can still heat up lunch and supper meals and make morning smoothies.
Today, a plumber is making sure all the pipes associated with the home's plumbing is being assessed and fixed if necessary. Soon, we'll have a functioning dishwasher put back in place. Currently, without a kitchen sink anymore, M is washing out dirty dishes and cutlery in the bathtub in my bathroom.
All of this is challenging to us and to our new 19-month old golden retriever, Johnny. I've posted a picture of him below. We've had him here for only a few days. Coming from Florida, our winter conditions were a big surprise for him! He's adjusting quickly to these conditions and to going for walks with M. He sure didn't like having to wear winter boots to protect his feet.
He's lighter in colour than Gus was.
Johnny is happily filling the void left by the passing of Gus. Like Gus, he loves people!
Johnny will be visiting our Vet this afternoon for his various vaccinations, including a rabies shot.
I'll keep you posted on his adventures here in the coming weeks and months.
