Houston Week 1

This is my Monet image of Hooch. He turned out to be quite the traveler. Now he eagerly wants to get into the car and I don't know if it's because he likes riding, if he's afraid I'll leave him behind, or if he's just hoping I'll take him back home.




I am working at the Foundation Surgical Hospital in Bellaire, Texas (which actually is in the middle of Houston). It's about 5 miles from my apartment and takes 15-20 minutes to get there. The hospital is only 3 years old and they only do orthopedic and spine procedures. Brand new hospital, brand new equipment and the people I work with seem very nice. I think I will like working here.

Hooch taking a stroll outside our apartment. It's all security enclosed so he can't escape.

The apartment complex is pretty nice, the best part being I have not seen ONE bug in the house! And trust me, the first few nights I was here, I got up in the dark and did surprise inspections. We are on the third floor and I learned an important lesson here....request first floor if you take your dog with you.

Although I bought a chair and table for the deck, I have a rule about not sitting outside if it's over 95 degrees. Hooch and I have used the deck once so far; it was midnight.

I have my new library card and life is good!

Love,

Nancy and Hooch
