To California!

My mom drove with me in my grandparent's van so we could fit all of my stuff including our dog, Doak. He did really well all the way from Seattle to Sacramento.

This is the guest house that we had to fix up before we could move in.

It was full of junk so we had to do quite a bit of clean up.

This will be our bedroom eventually. We will paint those shelves black and use it for our clothes.

Doak and his new friends, Danny Boy and Pheonix, learned quickly the new pecking order as Doak established himself as the alpha male. But they get along great.

My mom was sooo much help while she was here. Here she is building a kitchen counter for us, well she's measuring and cutting we would have to build it.

Here is our bedroom now filled with lots of clothes and a bed.

I added some curtains to keep the bright light out.
This will be our living room once we get some more furniture like a TV.

Our dining room is in the background next to the refrigerator. Jon is lounging in the living room.

This is our kitchen/pantry full of junk right now, but we will get rid of all that. I'm just happy we have a full size fridge.

We even put Doak's dog bed inside so he could sleep in the living room rather than outside.

He is staring down a fly waiting for it to move so he can snap!

Our first baby, Doak.

We got Doak as a rescue dog when he was nine months old. We were told he is half doberman and half rottweiler.
He was very playful and a beautiful dog.
When Jon and I moved to Canada for the summer we couldn't take him with us so we left him with a lady out in the country that took very good care of him. He had Rastah to play with and 5 acres to run around.
When we got back from Canada he was so happy to see us. He's kind of a needy dog so he required a lot of attention.
