Life in Dover

So far so good here in Dover. We have met most of our neighbors and feel right at home with everyone. Jeff and I have even been able to do some exploring around the area. Two weekends ago we were able to go down to Lewes and Rehoboth Beaches soak in some sun and the ocean. We even brought Cheyenne with us for her first beach experience. Last weekend we decided to travel to Annapolis and check things out. Plus we were both craving Panera Bread and wanted to get a few things at Trader Joes, so a rainy day seemed perfect.

We are finally settled in with pictures and curtains hung. The only big issue we've had is the fridge went on the fritz today and decided to stop working. Luckily we got it fixed and it seems to be doing ok now. But we lost a half gallon of milk in the process. Jeff is finally seeing patients again and finding the office to be a busy place. Mon, Wed and Fri he has mandatory Physical Training and then he signed up to play volleyball on Tues and Thurs. So basically he is at work until later now making it tough to get into a new grove. But I guess we'll get there eventually.

Some people are so stupid!

Ok...I usually don't like to rant on these blogs but I have to with this one. Today I was out walking Cheyenne and a stray dog ran up to us. This dog was a young, friendly pup and Cheyenne was actually wanting to play with him. I grabbed the dog's collar and guess what? No tags!!!! None what-so-ever! That just makes me so mad that people are that dumb. What idiot does not put tags on a dog in case it gets out or lost! So here I am a mile from the house, calling the base housing office and the only answer I get is "you'll have to call the ASPCA". Come on people, I am so shocked that security forces wouldn't have a microchip scanner to try and scan the dog and find its owners. So now what? Do I try and get the dog to follow me home? Do I just let it run off? By this time the dog ran off, so I didn't have to make that decision, but still. I am one of those over protective people. Not only does my dog have and ID tag, but a microchip tag, a rabies tag and a Delaware state license tag. It's not that hard people! I told my mother that if I see posters for a lost dog, I am going to call them and tell them what idiots they are.


So yes we are here in Delaware and unpacked. I just unpacked the last box today. Our house is starting to feel more like home. We've met a few neighbors and all seem pretty friendly. We have also discoverd where stuff is, like Target Walmart and Lowes all must haves. Cheyenne is doing well, although Jeff and I think we brought home a different dog. She is more playful now and actually letting people pet her. I guess we'll have to see if it sticks or not.
