My new nemesis: the under-the-carpet pad. Luckily only 2 rooms suffer from this horrible, impossible blight. But still. I stopped at a flooring place to ask what I could use to remove it, and the guy laughed, and said, a scraper and some elbow grease. 😳🤯🤬😂💪🏻 #busterhouse

With all due respect to those who papered these walls in 1905, 1921, and 1934, my hatred of wallpaper glue is as indelible as your signatures! (And a shout out to H Coomer’s family. Long history there.) #busterhouse

So many of you have asked about the puppies. Their names are Daisy and Pluto. The plan is to keep them but we are still working things out. It’s possible my son Daniel will take one and we’ll keep the other. There’s a lot of research about litter mates who have been in a neglected situation being overly bonded so they don’t bond well with humans and don’t learn as well, and therefore don’t thrive. We are finding this to be true so far. Plus they keep attacking our cats! 😾 No matter what, we are dedicated dog lovers who will do what’s best for these abandoned pups. Thanks for all the queries and the interest! Will keep everyone posted! ❤️
