Getting back into the routine of having a dog, but also having a dog here in Germany in our townehome without grass anywhere nearby, has been an adjustment.  It'll be so nice when they get our backyard done (ugh!) so I can just let him out during the day.  

Its funny, when we moved here I noticed that while out walking people weren't friendly.  I would smile or nod or say hello to people and they would just put their heads down and march past.  I figured it was just a German thing and didn't take offense to it.  They probably think I'm a little weird or maybe a little special because I'm always smiling at them.  

Ever since I started walking with General though I've noticed a complete change.  People will smile, nod, or say hello TO ME!  Sometimes from all the way on the other side of the street!  If they don't do that they at least stare lovingly at General as they pass.  This is definitely a dog-friendly country!

There's no keeping him off of our new cream rug unfortunately :( How long will I be able to keep up running the handheld vacuum everyday?
I'm also starting to receive some of the boxes of baby stuff I shipped back to myself from the States.  Right now its all draped around and on her crib because its the only piece of nursery furniture in the room.  I hope to convince Jason to make an Ikea run soon though to pick up a dresser.  Then it'll just be a search for a rocker!

They frames kind of look like a dirty brown here, but they're actually gilded gold. They're kind of cool, I think. I wanted them to be bigger - like 11x14 with a 2" matte, but I messed up when I was ordering them and must have read it wrong. They're going to stay as is for now though because the next size up is more expensive than I can deal with. Where's a Home Goods when you need one?
