I don't know when Shadow started doing this, but...

I don't know when Shadow started doing this, but he's been calling Cubba (pronounced like "Bubba") Cupboard as his full given name and it is GIVING. ME. LIFE. 😂😂😂 I love the evolution of pet names.

For the record, Cubba was named as such by Kira because he looked like a bear cub when he was a puppy. It had nothing to do with cupboards or cabinets or anything like that. 😂

I took a bunch of pictures this morning...

I took a bunch of pictures this morning because I came out so early. My earlier post didn't have pretty pictures; I mostly snapped those because of the sheer number of balloons. I know today was nothing compared to what next week will be with Balloon Fiesta. I'm excited for that. 😁😁😁

Here are a few nicer shots from this morning:

We ended up just buying Rose some new toys. They squeak. She is happy about it. 😂

Very pretty balloons (gotta zoom) as seen from under the pergola.

The dogs (and me, with my allergic-to-the-sun ass) sunbathing with the dogs. I'm wearing long leggings, long sleeves, a sun hat, and sunscreen. It's 60° F out. Chilly under the pergola and comfy in the sun (for a little while, anyway).

Poor Shaun is working on the dog kennel. Cubba keeps digging under. We have a wall around our backyard and Cubba can climb it in some places. 😕 We've got someone coming to give us an estimate on raising the wall a bit. Until then, we're struggling to contain our overly-friendly escape artist. Everyone has dogs here and people walk in this neighborhood and he is LIVING FOR IT. Unfortunately, we don't have a routine yet so he doesn't know how to behave. We've been here just over a week and are still trying to settle in and get situated and work out all of the kinks. It is definitely a process.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great Saturday. We've got someone coming to teach us about our yard soon so I'm excited for that. Maybe once that's done we can get one of the kid's rooms painted. Or maybe not. Today is the neighbor's daughter's wedding day and we don't want our dogs acting out so it might be a dog-park day. We'll see. 🙂

😂😂😂

I don't know if the wind will bring them close today, but Shaun has counted 26 this morning. I think if you zoom hard you can count 20 in the 2nd photo. One looks like a chicken and I'm hoping it gets much closer. I need a good pic of that one. 😂

Edit:  Chicken might be a fish. I'll keep y'all posted. 😂

Edit:  Definitely a fish.

I love all of the neighbors we've met.

I love all of the neighbors we've met. Everyone here is so nice. 🥰🥰🥰

Look at this super considerate not-invitation we were just hand-delivered. I swear, people here are just different. Southern Hospitality exists, but I guess most people in the south don't care about stuff like this. It's "This is my property, I'll do what I want, screw whoever doesn't like it." and then there is bad blood.

I really can't stress enough how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT here. I have never been able to honestly say that before. It hits different being proud of where I live. I'm about this life and my heart is happy. ❤️❤️❤️
