New Things

Ahhh... spring has sprung around the Kamp household and one thing that spring brings are new babies !! Here is "Lady Lightning" - the newest member of our family. She is a 8 week old chocolate lab.

Now, many people say we are crazy for getting ANOTHER lab (Ella is our 2 year old yellow lab) but we really did it for Ella. We felt like a puppy would spice up her life (and ours!!) So far this has worked wonderfully. They LOVE each other. They play together and wear each other out. They run around and when they come in they are tired. When they nap - they like to be right next to each other.

I feel like we are 10 steps ahead with Lady than we were with Ella. Maybe that is because we know what to expect. She is VERY good at being in her crate and only whines during the night when she has to go potty.

Time will tell if we've made the right decision but so far (after 7 days) we're happy with the new addition. Lots of potty accidents to clean up but that is to be expected with a new puppy. She is confined to the dining room right now so cleanup on the hardwood floor is super easy.

We are eagerly awaiting the sale of our house (no buyer yet) and will be able to move to another house where fencing the yard will be much easier. This will help TREMENDOUSLY !!! Stay tuned....

Welcome Back Me !

Seriously... it's been almost a year since I last blogged. Wow - I am REALLY embarassed! Ok... so there has been a lot going on lately. Last year I spent 3 week in the hospital (3 of 52 doesn't sound like ALOT but really... it seemed to suck a couple of months out of me). Enough with exuses. I am comitting to being better at this... Starting tomorrow : ) Off to watch Ben play Rugby, do some grocery shopping, and probably grab a bit with the 'fam. C-ya later.
