I'm sorry for those of you checking in regularly, only to be disappointed by the fact that there hasn't been an update. The truth is, we're in a holding pattern until we get into the house (next Friday, if all goes well!)
We had our inspection last Thursday. Save for a few minor problems, there were no deal breakers, and we're ready to move forward...and are certainly looking forward to closing on the 13.
Lord knows we're looking forward to getting out of this hotel. Murphy is included in that too! He's so cramped up here...and even though he gets two days a week at doggy day care, it's still not as good as having him in his own place.
We only have one more Monday morning of getting up at 0300 to get down here in time for work. This past Monday was ROUGH. After getting up, driving three hours, dropping to dog off at day care and working all day...I was really looking forward to some blissful unconsciousness. Murphy had other plans. Right before we got ready to go to bed, he started puking ALL over the place. And just when we thought he was done, he'd start again. At one point I had him in the tiny hotel bath with me (so he wouldn't KEEP throwing up on the carpet/BED) and he was just shaking like crazy, to the point I was so worried that I called the Emergency Vet Service here in town. Of course they recommended we come in at once, and why wouldn't they? For walking in the door they planned to charge me $85...and that doesn't count any treatment he would have needed. Shan and I decided to wait him out a bit, to see if he calmed down. And after about an hour of emesis every 10 minutes, he drank a little water, and fell asleep.
He's fine now. And, for the record, if he'd kept it up, we WOULD have taken him to the vet...but it seemed that he had eaten something that aggravated his stomach (it looked like rubber) and past experience with a pukey puppy has taught us that once he gets it up he's fine. So we let it play out, and he's back to his usually chipper self.
I promise more house related posts as soon as we get into the, you know, house.
