We Finally Have a Fence!


Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you... our FENCE!

I know, I never thought we'd finally put one up either, but here it is! AND it's wonderful!

I bribed the men in our family to come over and help with Donut King donuts and Publix Subs. They all came over around 9am and everything was done by 4pm. It was spectacular.


We rented an auger to help with the post hole digging. All of the men were having fun taking turns playing with a fun new toy. It looked kind of dangerous to me, so I just went back inside. 


Josh posing with the Sawzall. They did a little bit of sawing, from what I understand. Again,it all looked dangerous so I was inside.


Digging more post holes with the crazy auger.


Almost done with the big side!


Here they are putting up the gate! Now we can get in and out!


Our new fence from the sidewalk!

After the fence was all up and most of the helpers were gone we did one last walk around to make sure Lucy would be contained and then let her out for the first time in her brand newly fenced backyard! 


She was a little timid at first, but eventually she was running around and chasing lizards.

Running after tennis balls!


Now all three of us can enjoy the backyard together! Lucy doesn't have to be on a giant leash and we don't have to worry about annoying the neighbors (or having them stare at us) while we are in the hammock.
