Diet Pills for Dogs . . .
Now that is a first - diet pills for dogs! What is even more suprising is that it is estimated that nearly 40 percent of canines are overweight or obese.

House Project 2 - The Master Bathroom
So, the second project was kind of unscheduled. Do you know how much damage an 1/8" drill bit can do? Well, it turns out it can do a lot.
After having a very productive day of organizing the garage and doing some outdoor work, I tasked myself to put a simple eye hook in the shower wall to hold the shower caddy from slipping forward off the shower head. Simple, straightforward fix. As I was drilling the hole, the bit slipped into the wall much faster than I expected and went through quickly, then hit 'something else' and continued. Deep down inside, I already knew what happened, but I pretended that nothing happened at all. I continued by screwing in the hook, mounting the caddy, and turning on the shower. The caddy worked great, the waterfall inside the wall, did not. When I turned on the shower, you could hear water splashing inside the wall and beading starting on the top edge of the shower unit. Two minutes later, there was water coming out from the baseboards. Yup, as you might have already guessed, I hit the shower pipe.
So began the 2nd project - painting and upgrading the bathroom hardware. You'll see in the pictures, the mess I had to make to fix the 1/8" hole in the pipe. But, the end results are fantastic. I think the bathroom looks great and I suppose I was glad I got the 'push' to move the project up.

And The House Projects Begin . . . Painting the Foyer
It was just a matter of time before we started doing some house improvement projects. Actually, two projects started about the same time due to a plumbing error on my part (posting shortly).
We first decided to talk the easier project, painting the foyer. Currently, the whole house is painted this off white eggshell color, aka a canvas ready to be painted and personalized.
Attached are the before and after pictures of the project.

More Pictures of Gabi
We got our digital camera back, so here are some clearer pictures of Gabi, our new puppy. As you can see, she's made herself quite at home now.
