Did I mention recently that we bought a new washer? We had the 15 year old washer checked out for a leak, and it was going to cost nearly $500 to fix it. I said no. It's becoming a money pit as we had it repaired last spring. I bought an Electrolux washer that was on sale at Lowes. I didn't even know they produced anything other than vacuum cleaners. It's not here yet, it's supposed to be delivered on Saturday. I cannot believe how much trouble we've had with appliances since I retired. I should have known, since the washer and dryer are both 15+ years old. The dryer is fine, we did have to have it repaired in 2022 because a mouse had made it's way all through the ducting and into a fan assembly. But otherwise, it's drying the clothes and that's all we need!
We did have some snow this past weekend, and Zoē loved it. Romeo took a video of her playing in it, but it's not that good of a video, since he was in the house. She hopped like a rabbit through it ~ her first experience with snow ~ and wasn't quite sure what it was. She is doing good, she's getting the hang of ringing the doggy door bell to go out to do her business. She still makes mistakes, especially upstairs. But as long as she was recently out, I know I have a 30-40 min window of safety, lol.
I never realized how much easier it is to house train when there's an experienced dog in the house already. This photo was the day before the snow....it was sunny and nice, in the low 40s. We're in for some wind tomorrow, so we're getting them out today for some much needed exercise.
In the Greatest Baker competition, I am officially out of the running. I never expected to win, but had remained in 1st place for so long, I was getting my hopes up! The last couple of days someone else surpassed me in votes. I wish them luck!
Well, I need to get some chores done, so I wish you a happy Wednesday!
Love, 365
