Furnace Update and Gallery Added

First thank you to everyone that lent us space heaters. Thank you to Magics mom who sent us Steve - who she sent to us before with the air conditioner. I called everyone but him as I couldn't remember his name. Nathan is terrible with cards so I am scanning them in now and putting them in an emerg folder.

She even called to make sure they were coming. Thank you!

One of Steve's employees showed up and couldn't get it working. He is going to buy a blower in the morning as they aren't open till tomorrow. He will be back tomorrow and I so hope that is what it is and we are fixed tomorrow.

We are downright toasty with the heaters. I am no longer shivering. Yes - we were. It's not hot but comfortable and I so appreciate that.

Again - thank you everyone. I am so glad the puppies were not just born. It could have been worse. Here's to 1 more day without heat.

Here is the gallery.

No matter what, we still manage to have fun. Dogs slept under the covers with me. I created a tent and we were all so toasty. This has been an exhausting week but a rewarding one. All I kept thinking about was how do the homeless manage. This is nothing towards what they do each and every day.

Let's hope tomorrow it is fixed. Dog bodies all over you under blankets make for a magical time. Without the heat going, I wouldn't have had such moments. But let's not go again, please. Here's to it getting fixed.

Nathan gets home tonight. I am jealous. He had sun, good friends to enjoy, boats and great food every day. Talking about food, thank you for the cornbread!!!!!!!

Hooray to those who are able to reach out and help ...
Had the same thing here when I needed help - there are s lot of good people out there. 🥰

It is so good to hear that a technician came out and tried to help. Hope the new blower will fix the issue. I was nervous for how you guys spent the night. Fingers crossed tomorrow your house will be nice and warm again.

Welcome home Nathan. Yes, he had good times, and good for him. I think you had good times too despite the furnace issues. Made new memories and got to snuggle with the dogs even more so.They were yours for this entire time, OK and Dennis' too. I say that's a good time :-)

Yes I made memories I will treasure. I also deserve time off too.

Who is that pup beside Tchibo on the blog cover? They seem to be beside each other on so many pictures. He is such a cute pup! Looks like Envy’s son as well!

So glad to hear about the heaters. Hope you get the furnace fixed tomorrow.

That's Elvis. He is actually a Truffie and Leti pup. He's home now. He is an amazingly fun dog.

We await the furnace guy. Our estimate if cash paid under a grand. I think Nathan and I are skipping the holidays. LOL Our present - heat.

Roni: How is Sam. Think about you daily! If anything we can do, we are here!
