Still not dead.
Yet.
( The Septic Situation still continues ... )And in the middle of ALL of this, Brother's dad was given a puppy.
He's a pureblood black lab, seven weeks old. Because he came through a friend, he was practically a steal. (They said he wasn't papered, but Brother's mom said something about registering him today? So I dunno.) No name yet; Brother's dad is currently debating Shadow, Sly, and ... I can't remember what it was now, but there's something else.** He's very sweet and incredibly cuddly. He's also not housetrained, likes to chew shoes and clothing - while you're wearing them - and barks and cries if he can't see you in his line of sight. Brother and I got four hours of sleep his first night here because he would *not* settle down and sleep. Last night we bought earplugs; I managed eight and a half hours, but then had to get up because I could still hear him even *with* the plugs. >.<
Brother's dad smiles everytime he looks at him.
We'll learn to live with the noise.
* Lucky, meanwhile, is extremely Not Happy with the new dog, poor thing. Not to mention all the construction. She's been pretty miserable. The puppy on the otherhand, ADORES her. We're pretty sure it's because she's part black lab herself, and she looks like lot like a smaller version of his mom. She's tolerating him for now.
** I personally suggested Shadow, Crybaby, and Bug, short for Cuddlebug. I got faces for the second two, no matter how appropriate they are.
