Joyousness
If that's even a word, and if it's not, it'll do. This is the English language after all, and people are getting away with creating new and hybrid words that creep their way into the common vocabulary with each passing day. But yes, to summarize: one more step of Mel's immigration process is done. The processing centre in Buffalo finally sent us a form stating that yes, they received her file and will be going through it sooner or later (alas, the odds favour later). In essence, the last step will really be them telling us that, yes, Mel's immigration has been completed and she gets her landed status. In the meantime, we can check on their website to see how the progress is coming along with her snazzy (see, that's a new word to have infiltrated our vocabulary, even though it sounds like someone trying to describe Prince while sneezing) new file number.
In other news, Shady seems to still be protesting about last night's bath (even though she earned it by rolling in a large dirt pile during her evening walk), and Mel thoroughly trounced me in Monopoly. Again. It wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't always land on Free Parking and get ridiculously large amounts of cash on top of her already large pile of money.
Today's Lesson: wet dogs in the bathtub can move surprisingly faster than you think. (And when they escape they leave a lot of water on the floor to be mopped up.)
