the remaking of a kitchen

on saturday jewlee, emily, akai, zucca, ruby, turkey and of course felicia arrived in california after their long drive from colorado. sarah, siena and i drove to lafayette to see them and jewlee's new home. her new home is gloriously fabuloso and comfy besides. i think it is perfect for her first cali nest. :)
the dogs seemed pretty cool about the whole thing.....zucca and akai were lounging by the pool and ruby and turkey were lurking by the table and lounge chairs. jewlee gave the latter two a bath with soap and the hose....they mostly did ok with that except for ruby getting her flat snoot full of water. too funny. the big dogs took a run down the hill to relieve themselves and z was able to get her fur and tail totally entangled with brush and brambles of some sort. pretty normal. kyra had purchased bones for the 4 of them so they were gnawing away happily and pretty much thought everything was just right.
jewlee and emily seemed to have survived the drive and were chipper and funny. it was great to finally meet e after hearing about her all spring and summer. i really liked her. i haven't met kyra as yet, but hope that will happen next time i get out west. what a treat to have the 4 girls in the fam together around the pool. yay!

we visited sam and jewlee in their lovely home and i just realized i have NO home pictures, just animals! amazing! it was hard to get everyone smiling at the same time....jewlee and sam seemed to get it, but as you can see the fur people couldn't even face the camera in unison. there is a picture of jewlee holding baby zucca, and another of akai showing how smart she is and shaking hands with jewlee.
it is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. animals and their humans seem equally content there. well, ruby may not be that content, but she manages. :)
