Taxes Are Done!!! We Have A New Puppy!!!!

February is normally the month that I set aside to do a years work of record keeping. I know I should do it as I go along but somehow that never seems to work out. I have been working feverishly the last few weeks and finally got the tax stuff done today and sent it over to our tax preparer – Whew!!

On February 15th we said goodbye to a beloved friend – Rest in Peace Fudggie!

A lot has happened to us during the 11 ½ years that we had Fudggie – retired from the Navy, started a career in Accounting, bought a house, got a Master’s Degree, started selling on Ebay…

We didn’t waste any time getting a new dog… so on February 16th we said hello to:

Our Litte Tyger
01/03/2006 -

We had decided to downside our dog so we ending up getting a Cairn Terrier and Shiba Uni. If you've ever seen the Wizard of Oz, you have seen a Cairn - that's what Toto was. The Shiba Uni is a Japanese breed - a cousine of the Akita. Our pup shouldn't weigh more than 20lbs when full grown. She is an interesting mix of breeds - a Google search will bring up information on the two breeds.

Our little Tyger is quite a handful right now - she gets into everything a goes places where no dog has gone in this house! We’re making progress with her – she is on her way to being housebroken, has taken well to the leash, and has learned to sleep in her crate (which is great for our sanity!). She is small and moves fast – quite a change from our old Labrador!

The job at the cookie factor ended Friday. I enjoyed working there so I was kind of sad that the job had to end. I have been to a couple of interviews this week so hopefully something will turn up soon. I've enjoyed having this week off - it has made getting the tax stuff done a lot easier!

Now that the tax stuff is done - it's time to re-stock my Ebay store. I don't really have the time to post items when I'm working but I do sell stuff our of my store and when the number of items drops below 100, I like to post some new things. I'll be moving all of my books and movies that I have on Half.com over to Ebay. It's a little harder to track the Half.com sales than it is Ebay's so to simplfy things for me next year I'll do all of my selling on Ebay...

It has been very busy time for me the last few weeks - hopefully things will slow down just a bit...

Take care & enjoy,
