Beasts Are Gone

The doggy beasts are gone!
WooHoo!
In a week of dissapointments, and severe neck pain ( I pinched something and it is giving me the headache of my life) , of worries and stress, of jobs found and lost, the bright shining moment was yesterday, when my brother finally removed the beasts from my house.

They were only allowed to be here for a week, and yet somehow ( because no one listens to me , ever) they survived in my home for a year and seven days.
But now they are gone!

I have lived through it.
I haven't killed anyone , canine or human.
I have survived the allergy attacks, the doggy piss smell in my house , the dog hair on everything, for a whole year.
( and it may take another year to completely remove all traces of canine fur)

I think I deserve some kind of prize!

Good for Kurt!
He has got his own place, it's close to his work, it has a yard for his beasts, he can afford it.
All is well.

I saw the room today, for the first time in a year.
The room that was once our perfect Guest Room, and then was Mom's Room, and has for the last year been Kurt's Room, referred to ( by me) as The Kennel.

It's pretty bad.
The beasts have chewed the walls in places, and I don't even want to talk about the carpet.
There is about 4 inches of dog hair on every surface.
The blinds, the ceiling fan, the blades of a floor fan, my mothers nick nacks and books.
The entire room looks furry.
And it stinks.

I suppose I am thankful they didn't do more damage, the custom wood blinds are still intact , though the window screen is shredded, the matress doesn't seem to be chewed up any.
I hope the carpet can be saved.

Hey, think of all the electricity I'll be saving!

I think I will miss having my brother here.
But if he ever needs a place again?
Well, this house has a strict, NO DOG policy , from now on.
Strict!

The Beasts are GONE!!!

And I count my little blessings as they come.
