May was a busy, busy month for my humans – so busy that I wasn’t able to post for much of the month. They decided to put the building we live in up for sale. I’ve been hearing the word “staging” thrown around recently, but I’ve yet to see an actual stage. I just know that it means a bunch of their stuff is in storage (i.e. Grandma’s house). There was even an Open House yesterday. It lasted two hours so we all had to leave. I heard them say a whole “two people” came.
Let me just say I am NOT happy about this upcoming move. After a year and a half of being in one place, I’m finally feeling like I’ve got some stability in my dog life. I’m not even two yet, but before I was four months old I had three homes. Nobody wanted me it seemed, and I was beginning to feel a little sorry for myself. My humans (especially the mommy one) have helped me build my confidence and come out of that funk a little, but the idea of moving brings back so many bad memories.
There’s also the Keely factor. Keely is one of my Dachshund neighbors and the apple of my eye. I’m not at all happy about the prospect of seeing a lot less of her. We live close enough to each other now that I can hear her bark when I’m in my front yard. The good news, I guess, is we won’t be that far apart. If we move into the neighborhood I think we are, it’s bout a 20-minute car ride according to my humans (and I love a good car ride).
I’d like to ask that you keep me in your doggy prayers if you don’t mind. Pray that this move won’t stress me out too much. Pray that I’ll adjust quickly. Oh, and pray that, on the positive side, I might end up the beneficiary of a fenced in back yard. I just thought of that one. Maybe, if I focus on the possibilities, this could be really cool. I’ll keep you “posted.”
It’s sad to think that Keely might be on her own. I know she enjoys her ‘Fritz time’ when she gets it! Did you say pray that the house won’t sell? I’m getting mixed signals!
