Our Free New Chairs Arrived!

Spunky Doodle is on the floor next to the left one.

We are excited about our first furniture that we bought since we've been married. Today is our 14th wedding anniversary and they arrived Saturday. Spunky Doodle approves of them too. She let me hold her on my lap sitting in the new chair. They rock and swivel. These are the chairs we bought with Gerard's $1,000 gift card that he got from work.

We had a bit of excitement though when they were delivered.  We were their first delivery at 9 a.m. so I came home right after eating breakfast at Hometown Buffet and Gerard walked over to the library.  The truck was there a bit ahead of me.  I tried taking Abby to the basement, but she turned around and ran out!  I didn't realize the movers had propped open both doors--the outside front door AND our inside one to the living room..  She took off across the street and I followed but then she came right to the delivery guy and he brought her back and I put her leash on right away.  Then I thought about the cats!  I hurried to close the door of the computer room where Manny was lying and then followed Spunky Doodle (who had come into the dining room by then) upstairs with Abby to close Spunky in the den.  By the time I got back down, both chairs were in place and all I had to do was sign the form.  Whew! 

From now on, anytime workers come over, I am going to put Abby on a leash.  She doesn't like to be banished in rooms alone so I guess this is the next best thing.  I was very upset with her.  Fortunately we live on a side street with very little traffic and no cars came but we really must work more on that stay command!  I told her I wouldn't tell her daddy.  Hope he doesn't read this, but if he does, oh well.
