186 Oak St.

Addie just got a new pet chihuahua named Bosco. I’m generally a “cat person,” and past experience has taught me that chihuahuas are a bit odd looking and yappy little monsters; as a result, I expected to have little interest in the dog. However, I quickly discovered that in addition to being a programmer, a mathematician, a home repairer and a “cat person,” I am also an excitable teenage girl in the presence of tiny animals, including chihuahuas. It also doesn’t hurt that we got Bosco from excellent chihuahua breeders named Shayna and Dennis Gatzke. Most of their chihuahuas are free from the excessively bulging eyes and flat snouts commonly associated with the breed, because they aren’t running a puppy mill. Further, they invest a fair amount of time and energy training and socializing their pups, which made Bosco (né Ean) immediately awesome.

Bosco!

So, I’m now of the opinion that chihuahuas are pretty great, as long as you don’t get them from a pet store.

P.S.: My oldest cat, Mojo, is an antisocial dick. He attacked Bosco the same night we brought the little chihuahua home. What an asshole.

It’s not complete, but I have at least started putting together a stylesheet for this site. Hopefully this makes it at least a little easier to read.

In house-related news, I still have a couple small leaks in the basement.

I can’t be bothered to update photo albums and manually share links to those updates, I just don’t have the energy or the patience for all that. So, I figured I’d make use of one of the domains I have been squandering and turn it into a pseudo-blog. This way, those interested can periodically come here to see new photos and updates as I work on the house. The domain name should be easy enough to remember for those that know the house, and bookmarks will work for everyone else!

This post serves mostly as filler to get the ball rolling. I’ll add some more meaningful posts in the days to come, but for now enjoy the following albums.
