From the Neighborhood

I know you're all out there breathlessly wondering, so I'll tell you:

The former owners admitted having their doubts about the sewer and offered to pay half. I kind of don't see why they shouldn't pay for it all, since California's disclosure laws are draconian, I had to even list all repairs I'd done on the house in the last year! However, I'm letting the real estate folks deal with it.

My bronchitis is better but not gone.

Rosie is better but won't use the ramp, we're still looking for some kind of "no slip" treads to put on it.

I love Sigmund Stern Grove and am so happy in my new neighborhood.

The view from my office is lovely.

Tomorrow I'm going to visit a friend with a new litter of Silken Windhound puppies. At lunchtime. It won't take six hours out of my day. I love living here.

Aren't you glad you asked?

I remember when Branagh got old enough so he couldn't jump up on my bed. I got him a ramp, but he wouldn't use it to save his soul. I couldn't figure out if he couldn't figure it out or just wouldn't use it.

I hope she decides to use it soon. :)

I'm glad your bronchitis is better, and here's hoping that the sewer issue gets fixed pronto and cheaply.

Consider painting it, sprinkling with sand while the paint is still wet, and then painting one more time. This will give the whole thing texture.

My dog has trouble with stairs where there is no back on the stair. We ended up having her eyes checked. Apparently she's very far sighted, so she can't see the edge of the stair clearly at all, and has trouble in general seeing that kind of stair. How narrow is the ramp? Would that or a visual problem be an issue?
