Dad requested pictures of our house's facelift in the last comments. So here was the super crazy day in photo. The guys had a saw from 9am until I believe 4pm. They made their last cut at 3:45, got the saw back, then pounded the huge chunks out.
Fiorella, the little girl who now has 3 stitches on her lip is doing great. In fact she called the kids to come play in her yard today. The rest of the family is not feeling so well- flu.
Saba is being closely watched. I did however appreciate Roberta's comment from last post, saying how stressed all that sawing made her and am hoping all this mess is long behind us. Mom did offer to take Saba for us, as Andrea also thought, so that is an option. At the same time, Brian is not too sure of the neighborhood and she is a great watch dog. Some did not realize that we were not in the yard either when the incident happened and so that made her extra nervous. I'm not sure if there is some way to show her that is not appropriate ever. We watched some of dog whisperer before coming here, trying to figure out how to make her less nervous, but his ways didn't seem to flow through us when we tried them.I just reread my post of our worst day and it said how Saba was so great with Tinker. That was true for a few days, until Tinker tried to eat Saba's food, in front of her. She bit her and Tinker is no more. Saba has never been food aggressive before, so this threw us for a loop too. Tinker does have a twin and I may get her tomorrow. We had her such a short time, but miss her already. Of course, the dog and kitten will not be together and especially not with food in the vicinity. She did pass on Gordon's anniversary and Ivan said that maybe now Gordon (my nephew) and him are playing together- that he got to share his pet with his cousin. It brought a smile to my sad heart.
Brian is now in Texas, which is pretty crazy. It's weird talking to him on the phone from here-- this is how our relationship blossomed, over a phone, me in Canada, him in Abilene. Friends of ours are making plans to buy his truck which is so TOTALLY awesome.Mom arrived in the Fort today to stay with us and help me with 3 kids and no hubby!! So far, she made herself hoarse reading books to them tonight and had to tell Emora after her 5th time dancing with her that they will dance some more tomorrow.

Love you. Glad Mom made it there without incident and that Brian made it to Texas just fine too. Hope Saba is more settled. Love to Ivan, Dominique and Emora.
Sorry to hear about Tinker. Hopefully her sister/brother will do better.
I certainly hope that Saba will calm down as well and that much of her behaviour and nervousness can be attributed to the renovations in the house. (Also, you "just" moved and she might is still unsure of her suroundings.) Love to you all.
