Enter At Your Own Risk

We have had our morning session already. Will see if I can get one this afternoon, lol. I gotta say, the first time she did that, trotting towards me with those two balls side by side in her mouth, I thought, "OMG! It's testicles!"

My dad would get so irritated with the cats cuz they would always push their toys behind the stove. He's in his 80s and on oxygen so moving the stove was a real pain.

Thank doG the ball won't fit very far under the fridge. I have one of those long handled grabber thingies, comes in real hand.
 
Play with these little dogs is lots of fun. They are so different! The shih tzu has never been much of a player; also, he will only go after the soft fuzzy toys with lamb chop being his favorite. He won't touch the balls. But the spaniel is fast and if I throw lamb chop for him, she will race past him, take it, and get up on the recliner where he can't get it. So, I throw one LC in one direction, the other LC in another direction. She will play fetch for ages, he will go for it maybe three times, then he stops at my feet and waits for his treat.

When they play chase with each other, he stands in one place in the middle of the room and she races all around him. He makes her do all the work, lol. Smart for a one-eyed shih tzu.
 
Hallway update: Above the stairwell, cut into the wall, was a hatch door that I thought was attic access. It was poorly fitted and very difficult to reach so I decided it had to go. There are other attic access doors. Contractor came over, removed the door, cleaned up behind it, replaced the insulation. It seems that at one time, a second roof was built above an older one, higher with a greater slant. Not an attic access. Anyway, since the drywall I have was 1/2" and the drywall above the door was 3/8", he ended up replacing the entire wall's drywall. Always something.

The drywall guy is coming on Monday to do those walls. Nothing fancy, just simple and plain. I need to call the electrician today with a question that will effect the drywall work. Argh! I hope he answers; he usually does.

Once that is done, probably mid-next week, it will be carpet time. Then baseboards and other trim. Electrician for new outlets and light fixtures which have all arrived and look like they'll do well for what is needed. I really hope to get this all done by end of Dec or mid Jan. Not looking forward to the carpet installation; there is furniture to be moved and not many places to move it to. Hopefully, they can just do part of the room at a time. IDK.

Best news of All! Contractor said he can come a week from today to relocate the mailbox! That will reduce snow shoveling by almost 75%! Woo Hoo!
 
Oops! I realized yesterday that the dog groomer appointment is Monday mid-day; I texted the dry wall guy that he could work here while I am gone if that's okay with him. He said he will come on Tuesday instead.

According to the electrician, what I wanted to do may come back to haunt me later down the road. The issue is that on the hallway wall, there is a junction box ?, like the one with all of the circuit breakers in it, except this one doesn't have anything in it. There are connected wires behind it, though. I think maybe it used to be the main box, which was moved to another place when an addition was built.

Anyway, now there is this metal door thingy on the wall that is just ugly, with several coats of now peeling paint on it. I wanted to remove it and just patch the drywall but he said that some day, access to those connections may be needed. "Your house, do what you want but..." Before Tuesday, I will remove that, sand it, give it a new coat of paint, and put it back up. Then hang a picture or something over it to hide it.

About an inch of new snow last night.
