I just can't believe that I have been in GA for a week now! Monday we got our furniture and here it is Sunday and I am still trying to get things together. It seems that Dave and I were going around telling the movers different things about what was going in storage and what wasn't. Half of the stuff that was suppose to go into storage is here at the apartment and half of the stuff that was coming to the apartment is in storage. The big problem is what ever is in storage is just going to have to stay there. The climate controlled storage is stacked from the ground to the ceiling, from the back all the way to the door and no room to move things around. So what ever is there is just going to stay for a year. Hope there is nothing I really have to have. I was hoping that I would have my Sheltie picture at the apartment. The one that my dear friend from Iowa sent me for my 50th birthday. But we just can't get to it. At least I know it is safe!
The Tobsters is having a little bit of a hard time. I tried to make things easy for him and was doing great until Friday morning. I had been taking him for 2 mile walks everyday. However, Friday morning we were headed out for our walk when some how I managed to twist my ankle. It looks really bad! Pink, Blue and Purple. It is what you call a Kanckle? Nasty! Huge!. I have been staying off of it as much as possible. It is just hard because there is so much to do. Besides that Toby has not been getting his exercise. I am hoping I will be able to take him to the dog park tomorrow. He needs to run! I do have to say he is adjusting to having to be on a leash most of the time he is outside. We did bring a couple of gates from the storage place so that he can sit outside on the porch.
I have enrolled him into an agility class. We will be starting on Aug 11th. I know he will be very happy to be going to school again. I can't wait to see his face when we pull up and he sees the agility equipment. That is going to be a great site to see. The really good news it that I will be working with EE's best friend. I know that I will be in good hands. EE put me in touch with here before I left Dallas. The only thing left to do is find a good obedience class for Toby. I really liked working obedience at CCS. I miss my class mates. They are a fine group of people!
I still have not found the cable for the camera. I think I will be going to Wally World soon to get another. Must be in storage. LOL In the mean time I am storing up lots of pics for everyone to see.

Hello From Atlanta
Greetings everyone! Toby and I are in Atlanta. We arrived here early Saturday morning around 2:00 am. It was a long drive! Toby seems to be adjusting well. I was very concerned because he no longer has a back yard to do his self rewarding behavior. But that is a good thing! Toby has never been one to go pottie on a leash but is doing very well. I only had to use a match one time. LOL! Thanks Jamie for teaching me that trick! I think he was storing up for a rainy day. LOL. The first day I think he went about 3 times. The second day he went about 4 times. Now he is on a schedule and it seems to be working great! I know, too much information. Anyway, we got our furniture on Monday and I have been working none stop to get things put away. I did not realize that I had so much stuff. We ended up having to rent two storage units. One is climate control for my dinning room, Big chair and Autumn, stereo stuff and what nots. The second storage unite for lawn equipment and agility equipment. All I know is that if I need anything from the climate controlled unit I am screwed! It is stacked to the ceiling. But it is only for a year. Dave has been adding only for a year or maybe less. I think he is tired of apartment living all ready!
Toby has been getting a 3 mile walk everyday. There is a trail just outside of the apartment complex and it is gorgeous! Yesterday I took the camera and took lots of pics. I will get them posted as soon as I find the cable to down load them. I used the regular digital camera so I will be able to post them. Since I am a stay at home mom I will be able to learn how to down load the video camera soon.
Last night I was able to cook dinner for the first time since we have been here. I was getting very tired of eating out. Thought I would never be tired of not cooking! The kitchen is very small; however, I have managed to find places for just about everything that I kept out of storage.
Wednesday was our 14th Wedding Anniversary. Wow! 14 years! just doesn't seem that long. We decided that we will wait until we get settled in before celebrating.
I think it is past time to Toby's walk and he is letting me know so I will add more later. Take care my friends and know that I miss you all very much!
