Aggie94, How was your move?

Thinking of you, moving can be so stressful.

How are things going?

That is so sweet of you to ask!

It's actually gone OK. The only things left in our old house are garage sale things that will either be sold on Saturday or will be donated to a local charity at the end of the day (mostly furniture and household stuff). Then, it's clean-up at the old place (YUCK!).

The unpacking at the new place has been fairly painless. The first room to be unpacked was the kitchen (of course!), so I am hoping to cook in my new kitchen (and clean up with my new dishwasher!) tonight. As I speak, I'm scouring the board for a good recipe so I can pick up things on the way home to make dinner.

The biggest adjustment has been the pets. There are so many new smells in their yard that they seem to want to spend all their time out there, and I'm still learning about what plants and shrubs might be toxic to them out there (and what I actually have in the gardens), so I'm having to keep an especially watchful eye on them.

Other than that, it's about as good as a move can be!

Aggie, good luck with your cleaning and unpacking! Regarding the pets, I know for SURE that Rhodys and Azaleas are toxic to dogs. I'm not sure about many others, but those two in particular I know about. My new Husky is a digger and I've looked out my back window to see my greenery flying through the air like a land mine went off. She pulls plants out by the roots, the darling animal... http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/rolleyes.gif And of course, the landscaper put mostly rhodys and azaleas in our backyard! I was worried about how much she was actually ingesting as opposed to just 'rearranging' so I called the vet. Those were the two that he warned me about. Happy Christening!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (Each and every room, remember?? http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/tongue.gif )
