We Have a Black Blob

Well, I know we've lived here for three years, but we still haven't emptied our garage. We're working on getting everything organized, but we really need to have a garage sale.

So recently, we've noticed a black blob that scurries sometimes when we go into the garage. I think it's a mouse. Matt thinks it's a lizard. Originally, I thought it might be a spider, but Wyatt swears he saw a tail. The thing is - none of us have actually gotten a good look at it, so it's come to be known as the black blob in the garage.

I think we're going to set a mouse trap and see what we get. We've gotten a good enough look to know that it's about 3-4 inches, but it's moving so fast, and we usually see it out of the corner of our eye, so we really just aren't sure what it is. As you can tell from the pics, there are lots of places for the black blob to hide. I'm really hoping it's a mouse. We had a huge tarantula in our garage in Tucson and I don't think I can handle a large spider again. That was just too dang creepy!!!!

Has it really been 3 months????

Okay, I know it's been forever since I blogged. Life has been so busy, I couldn't think of anything to blog about, which makes no sense at all after writing it. LOL!

So we got the SoCal annual passes to Disneyland this year and I wanted to take the kids the last few days that weren't blocked. Matt got home from work while we were gone and took the dog out and she got out of the yard and ran away.

Pucca is a chihuahua mix, so after she was gone for a week, we were pretty confident that the local hawk, owl, or coyotes got her. We got two puppies because we never thought we'd get her back. Then, about five days later, some boys called to tell us they found our dog when they were riding their bikes.

I picked up Pucca and she was in bad shape and I had to take her to the very expensive vet hospital because it was a Saturday afternoon. They never say "do this or put them to sleep" and you feel so bad for your pet, you agree to pretty much anything. After a ton of money and many trips to the vet, we now have our little dog back and two wolf/malamute puppies.
