Daughter one and dog one had been living with us for a year, dog 2 snuck in half way.
They've all gone to their new home today, it's not far away, she did live 100s of kms away.

I'll miss them a bit but I'll see them, no poo on the decking, more room in the fridge, no stuff inconveniently stored waiting for the move.  I might go walk dog 1&2 sometimes.

Daugher 2 and dog A are coming home next week and travelling on to Sydney with wife 1 (and only) for some running event.  I'll get to bond with dog A.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I caught my Jiu-Jitsu instructor with a scissor sweep for the first time today. I didn't actually improve my position by doing so - he's far too quick - but I put him on his back for a split second.

My oldest granddaughter passed her exam to be admitted to nursing school, which begins next semester.  Right now she's getting her college basics out of the way.

Good for her! She's pretty much assured a career. Nurses are in a shortage in the US.

Nurses are cool. Way better than doctors.
