Porter the scaredy...dog

 

Well the past month has been full of change for the whole Malone household. Perhaps experiencing the most difficulty with adjustment is Porter.

First, Porter had to help sort through boxes and boxes of kitchen goodies.

Secondly, We learned that Porter does not like all of our treasures we unpacked. The saxophone was quite the entertaining moment to say the least. In addition I remembered why I didn't con't to play past high school.

A recent hail storm damaged most of the roofs in our neighborhood so it has been a couple month ordeal having everyone's roof replaced....at least for one furry pup. Porter is deathly afraid of nail guns. So much that we have to walk him outside and give him a 'potty treat' everytime he'll go on command. Yes, we're reverting back to the 8 week potty training time.

In addition, fourth of july is approaching and now that we're in missouri we have lots of eager children shooting off fireworks. Porter has been terrified and has now found a new hiding place.

Yes, he hides in the closest underneath my clothes as far back as he can get.

He's been so scared lately, he is ready to be packaged up and sent far from all the noises!

Rob thought we could break Porter's fear of loud, popping noises so we played with bubble wrap this weekend. Then he thought we needed to wrap him up too

June Update

Well, well, well.... It has been a lengthy amount of time since I've been able to update our blog. Rob and I closed on our home and survived one last move (for many years hopefully :)) the beginning of June. We spent many days unpacking boxes and boxes, also we had to spend a great deal of time sorting through all of our fabulous wedding gifts. I had the daunting task to reduce much of our former kitchen ware to make room for our new gifts! After one and a half weeks of unpacking, we had 15 bags of trash and approximately 50 boxes lined up outside to be removed...yes we looked like 'those neighbors'.

As far as work, I've been adjusting even more to my job and have really started to enjoy working everyday. In addition, Rob also recently accepted a position at Rosehill Gardens as a commercial estimator/landscape designer. Rob wants to add "I'm loving it." okay that was my cheesey interview question so I guess I expected a half corny answer. Either way, it has been really nice to wake up and head to work at the same time everyday, we even get to share a little coffee together these days!

We had our first house guests this past weekend, thanks Mike and Teresa for making the trip up to see us and our home. We had a relaxing weekend. We're definitely looking forward to more visits and many more visitors. We're tentatively planning a small house warming party in a couple of weeks, Sat July 9th for those that want to stop by.

I hope to post a few pics of all the exciting things that have been going on the past month soon!
