Good Will & Stuff

Sometimes things just have to go. Today, a few big pieces of furniture that have been with our family for a really long time, have been sent to live with someone called Good Will. I don’t know him, but I hear he collects lots of things and finds them new homes with families who need them. I guess that’s why they call him good. 🙂

Before I tell you more about Good Will, I wanted to tell everyone that it’s my mommy’s birthday today! Nala and I are gonna be extra good so she’ll share some of her yummy cake with us. She’s bound to have cake, right?? I’ll let you know how that goes. 😉

Getting back to Good Will… the 3 big pieces of furniture that he took away, were MT’s dresser and armoire (she’s had these since she was a baby!), and mommy’s organ (she’s had it since she was a teenager!). Taylor was excited to get rid of her old furniture, but I don’t know why they gave it away… it looked like it was in really good condition.

MT was more than ready for a change, and she’s already replaced those 2 pieces of furniture. You can read this post and then this one to read about her new furniture.

But mommy, on the other paw, was not totally ready to say goodbye to her organ. I guess she’s had it for so long, that it became part of the family. Do any of you have furniture like that?

I can imagine not wanting to say goodbye to my toys, but I don’t have anything that big to worry about saying goodbye to. Oh wait a minute… I may have something. More on that below…

When Good Will came to pick up our furniture, mommy and MT kept Nala and me separately in each bedroom. I guess they figured that we would go a little crazy when the men were inside our house.

While we were in the bedrooms, I wondered where Nala was. Every time she barked, I went more crazy and yelled for her. I didn’t really understand why we had to stay in closed rooms.

The men used a dolly to move the furniture. They took out
MT’s dresser first, and then her armoire and a comforter.

They put them on the lift…

And then they disappeared into the truck.

This was mommy’s organ.
It was in pretty good working condition for its age.

The men put the organ on its side, and used the dolly to move it.

Mommy watched as the men put her organ onto Good Will’s truck.

After the men were done inside the house, mommy told
MT that it was OK for her to let us out of the bedrooms.

I missed everything. I don’t even know if Good Will moved the furniture himself. But I did notice the huge space behind the couch, where the organ used to sit.

Now that the organ is gone, mommy and daddy are planning to finally take up the rest of the old tile floor and put down some brand new tile. I’m sure you’ve noticed some icky-looking cement floor in many of the photos the past couple of months. Did ya think it was gonna stay that way forever? I did, but I’m glad it’s not!

And… after the new floor goes in, there’s talk about getting a new couch. Apparently, our couch has been in the family for a looooong time. I kinda knew it was old, but it doesn’t really look old from the outside. But if you’ve seen some past posts, you’d know that there’s a huge hole on the inside on one end. Yep, I’ve lost plenty of toys and bones down that hole. I think I’m ready for a new couch too.

Oh! Remember when I told you that I may have something big to worry about saying goodbye to? Well, there’s been a bit of talk about getting rid of Nala’s and my love seat by the window — can you believe it?!

How am I gonna sit in my comfy spot near the window?
Where am I gonna take naps?!

How am I gonna lean over and check out things outside?

Where will Nala rest when she wants to be with the
family, but away from my crazy house runs?

Where will Nala and I be able to hang out together
and watch things outside?

I am not happy about this latest development, and definitely won’t give my approval. I guess for now I’ll just wait and see what happens. I can’t wait until tonight… I’m lookin’ forward to ice cream cake! Yummm!

Woofs & hugs,
