When I lost my last freelance graphic design client a few years ago, I needed a new job that I could do with Gracie. So my generous husband, purchased a 100 year old two story house for us to renovate.
Gracie was with me almost every day as “we brought some love” back into this home. The market being what it was/is, we couldn’t just turn around and sell it, so we became landlords. The downstairs tenants moved out 2 weeks ago, so Gracie and I went back to touch it up and get it ready for the next tenants.
Before I installed the blinds in the living room, Gracie use to love sitting there staring out the window, watching the dogs walk their humans along the sidewalk.
This time Rosie got to come. Gracie was not going to show Rosie “the ropes”. So Rosie basically ran around like a mad dog, checking out every corner of the large apartment, while Gracie settled in for a long nap. When we first bought the house, I told Gracie’s breeder about what we were doing and she suggested we call the house “Graceland.” While I love the house, I am hoping that this spring, we can finally put it up for sale and make a profit!
