Settling in
Last week was amazing indeed, we did so much in so little time.
My overly optimistic timeline was looking questionable by Tuesday, but by Wednesday it was working and we were actually finding almost everything.
By Thursday we were nearly caught up with sending orders out and there were so few mishaps that I was genuinely pleased with everyone and everything.
…and we were all tired, but happy, very VERY happy.
This is how it looked when we got here on Sunday morning, July 22…
and this is how it looks now…
Pictures do not do it justice, but I’ll get share more when we are even better set up. Right now it’s merely functional as we still have much to figure out and decide for how best to use all this new space.
This is where we will start setting up our store when we are ready…
and from outside the front doors…
We’re going to paint this big-oval-beige building green soon…
When that’s done I’ll share an update here with you, including new pictures.

Wow, that looks really nice for having just moved in! The last time I moved everything just stayed in boxes for a few weeks :P. Looks like everything is coming along nicely though. I can’t wait to see the final product!

Ooh! This will be so cool; so much storage room for socks and so much play area for Lola ;)

Wow! It looks awesome! Congratulations, again. :)
Lola looks like she’s warming up to the new digs. ;) What a cutie!
I can’t wait for the SD store opening. Yay!

Lola pawsitively loves it here! she has nice comfy little beds in shipping by her daddy’s desk and here in my office. Plus, she gets to play with her buddy Baxter just about every day now that Baxter’s mommy has an office to keep him comfy in. My only gripe right now is that my office gets more of the AC than the rest of this section and it is like a fridge in here right now, the good news about that is that during the colder months my office will get more of the heater than the others and I will be cozy & happy ~:)

I’m so glad that you guys are doing so well and are nicely moved in. It’s exciting to see you guys grow and be happy!
Congrats!

Love it! I especially love the caution tape looking path on the ground cuz it makes me feel like it’s a huge warehouse and I can imagine someone riding around on a fortcliff moving socks around.
I just moved recently too so that’s why I haven’t been on too much lately but I’ve been checking in when I can. We just got the internet the other day and are still working on getting it wireless so I can use my laptop again.
