Pets

We brought 2 dogs and 3 cats with us to our 2 bedroom apartment. We are all pet people, but this has tried the patience of everyone in the house! We were worried about the lack of grass, but that hasn't been a problem. Teaching the dogs to hold it until they get to the proper spot has been! After a week of accidents and a scolding from the housing office, Kevin began carrying Nilla to the street so she couldn't squat in the elevator, the lobby,

on the welcome mat at the front door! Serena found this enclosed area through the basement door. Very spooky but perfect for during the day. She doesn't have to take the dogs through the lobby or down the street crowded with people and traffic. The area is completely enclosed and the girls take turns going along so Serena doesn't get locked out of the building.

This is a picture of the "courtyard" which is really only a sidewalk that connects the 3 apartment buildings that house Teachers College students. The next photo is of the walkway from the sidewalk up to our building. Not sure if there is construction going on or why the area is blocked off the way it is.

Alyss complains the entire way of having to leave the house and must literally be pulled down the halls and out the door. Nilla on the other hand needs out every 2 hours or she doesn't make it. This photo is outside our door where she is first in line to go back in.

Alyss and Nilla have taken over Lilly's bed and she has moved back into ours. She was only lasting a few hours in her own bed any way before moving because Serena was to tired to keep taking her back to her own bed.

The cats have taken over Serena and Kevin's bed and often all 3 can be found there. This is Daniel and Madeline.
