Upstairs Downstairs, with Dog

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting the Hannah Dog,

she is very much a people dog, in fact I often think she IS a person.

She has a broad range of facial expressions, deep emotions, 

and a curious number of  noises can emanate from the depts of her hairy being.

She is also often desperate to be with you, and it doesn't matter who you are, 

as long as you are human she is there.

So, much to the Hannah Dog's delight Dr. Nails was working on the stairs, 

so she can finally climb up to the second floor. 

( You would not believe the looks we would get when she couldn't come up with us )

It is fortunate that we have reached this stage for me as well,
as navigating ladders is not necessarily in a pregnant girls' best interest.

Nor does it make her feel the least bit graceful either.
And it often sheds any morsel of dignity that she may be clinging to.

Anyways, now that it is easier to get upstairs,
 the newly built deck up there is also much more accessible
to both four legged and two legged creatures.

I can see me spending some time on this deck.
And I do believe Miss Hannah will just be happy to be here with me.
