Sorry for the long silence! I thought that I would have plenty of time to keep my blog updated. But No! Things have been very hectic lately. My knee is starting to heal. All I know is I will be so glad to not have to wear that stabilizer. It is so hard to drive with it on. Physical therapy has been going great. I am not sure how much longer I will have to go 3 times a week. I am hoping it will all end soon.
The closing on the house went very smooth. There is nothing like being paid to buy a house. lol
Last weekend Dave and I cleared out both storage units and I have been working on packing up the apartment. I am so glad that I did not unpack very much when we got here in July. I only unpacked enough stuff to make the apartment look homey.
This past week I have had to go to the state department of environment health to pick up a map a our septic system. That took all day. These people around here just don't give you all the information you need at one time. You keep having to go back and ask tons of questions to get the information you need. Anyway after asking questions for about 3 days I now have most of the information I need. I think I have become a walking encyclopedia on septic systems. The septic system is in a good place so in the future, if I ever find a job, we will be able to clear some trees out of the back 40 and extend the yard. The best thing about it is that our property backs up to 8 acres of woods. From what we have been told there will never be anything built behind us. So we can clear trees all the way to the property line and still be looking at a beautiful wooded area. Toby is going to be so pleased with his new yard once we get a fence up. Wow! what an expense! But I will have plenty of room to work with Toby on his agility.
Speaking of which, Toby did awesome in class last night. He came to me all but once. The plan is when he zooms I am to turn and walk away to a hiding place and the instructor will get Toby and put him in a kennel. Man did that ever "P" Toby off. Needless to say that is working great! If Toby zooms a second time in class not only does he get put into a kennel and his fun ends, I have to run another dog in front of Toby. Putting salt in the wound.
It may be a towards the end of next week before I can post again. Computer is getting packed up and moved this weekend along with the apartment. We have some friends from South Carolina coming to help with the move. I am getting so excited to be in our new home. Hopefully I will have pictures soon.

I had to laugh at "salt in the womb"... I think the saying goes "Salt in the wound"....
Glad you found an answer for Toby... Hope it works.. I seem to remember someone else telling you that same thing in her back yard....
