That's right, the hamster. I may not get as much blog time as those smart dogs or that cute cat but if you want the 411 on what's going down in the 209 I'm the guy you need to see.

But first check out this cute trick. Look, I'm a potato! Naw, not really, I just run so fast even the sports setting on Dawn's camera can't catch me!

Anyway, back to the 411. I sit right here in the office all the time so I get to hear all the good stuff when Dawn's on the phone. Right now she's staring out the window muttering something about "bloggers block". Sounds painful. I thought I'd give you some updates till she gets her act together.

Remember this picture. Well, she tried hanging it ON the mirror with those new Command picture hanging strips. It seemed to work until the next morning when she discovered the adhesive wasn't sticking to the mirror any more. Luckily it hadn't fallen all the way down yet. So she got out the fishing line and hung it from the picture rail. It worked well, you couldn't really see the fishing line, but it hung at an angle and you could see the back of the print. So for now it's just leaning there till she decides what to do.

I did hear her say she was thrilled the wash house rose bush had survived the pruning and would be flowering any day. She's getting a bit impatient to get the inside cleaned and went poking around. She was excited to find some old posters from a chocolate candy company and will be sharing them soon. Otherwise she is waiting, rather impatiently, for some muscle to help start moving things out! I'm fast but not very strong so I guess I'm no help. Besides...there are wild cats out there!

The kids are off from school this week so she's keeping them busy with lots of projects. This one is a little stinker though.

Just look what she did to herself.

Poor Sunny slept right through her antics!

Dawn was so excited when the auction signs came off the rentals across the street. They started tearing out the old stuff the very next day. Then left it for over a month, just like this.

But they came with dump trucks and front loaders and cleared out everything from two of the buildings yesterday. It looks like they are renovating from the floor up so it will be NICE and new for some NICE new families!
So that's the scoop. Speaking of scoop, Dawn's headed over here to clean my cage. You probably don't want to stick around for that!
