Therbur Barry Update

We haven't posted much on this blog recently because we have been rather busy trying to take care of Therbur. He can be kind of a handful sometimes, but he is learning very quickly and is a very good puppy.

He has been growing like crazy. When we first got him, he weighed about 8 lbs. and now he weighs about 22 lbs. That is 14 lbs. in 4 weeks! He can now sit and wait. We are working on shake and come, and he is almost potty trained. Sometimes he gets excited and has an accident, but most of the time, he will go to the door when he needs to go.

Here are some pictures:


Therbur's first wobbly meal with us.

This is the first night we got Therbur.

Therbur Barry

Over the past few months if you haven't heard KayDee talking about her then fictitious St. Bernard, you were either under a rock, or as I had, you started tuning her out. (Just kidding, baby. I love you.) Well, her dreams (she literally dreamed about him) have come true. We are on the verge of getting the big, lovable St. Bernard named Therbur Barry. Actually, he isn't so large right now because he is only a puppy, but when full grown, he will be about as big as KayDee. We are very excited for his arrival, and we are very anxious to let everyone see him.

At first, I'm sure we'll get a lot of questions about his name, so let me put that matter to rest. His first name, Therbur, was the name of Janis Joplin's dog, and Barry is arguably the most famous St. Bernard of all time. He was credited with saving over 40 people while he worked as a rescue dog at the Great St. Bernard pass.

At first you may want to bring over your own puppies to meet him, but we need to wait until he has all of his shots before we can let him around other dogs. For the sake of getting him accustomed to other animals, we hope that when he is fully inoculated you will bring your puppies to visit.


We have already bought his crate, and as you can see from the picture, we got the biggest one they had! Becky, KayDee, Gangus, Rosie, and Bubba all fit inside at the same time. The perfect size for a full grown St. Bernard.

KayDee's New Job

After five looooong years at QC Finance, KayDee will now become an eBay nerd. (Anna, you have no right to make fun of her because you work there too.) She will be working in customer support as a PowerSeller support agent. Wow, that sounds really cool doesn't it?

She decided to make this move because she was growing more frustrated with QC, and she would come home grouchy all of the time which wasn't fun for me. She also wants to start going to school, and working at eBay will make this easier because of the flexible shifts and tuition reimbursement.

This means that KayDee and I will be car pooling to work every day which will save us tons of money on gas. We are also thinking of only owning one car if the car pooling arrangement works out, and that will save us tons more money. (Becky, Ben, Anna, Isaac, and all other free-loaders, don't get any ideas about extra presents or anything because we will be saving most of it.) Just kidding, you guys aren't free-loaders. Anyway, we are really excited about this new job for KayDee. We think it will be great for her in the long run.

We would like to end our post with a qoute about freedom. Freedom from sucking, stupid jobs.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Welcome to our New Blog!

We have decided that we need to get with the times and open a blog. Everyone is doing it! Check back here for updates on our lives (there probably won't be very many because we are pretty boring) and for updates on our house.
