The Kitchen is Finished!
After months of hard work (well not necessarily me doing the work) the kitchen is finished. Yes, there are still the details but overall the big work is done - painting, floor installation - and it looks great. I am happy to report the new floor is just as comfortable for me and my favorite spot to lay in works just as well with the new floor as with the old. I have posted some pictures so you can see the new colors but it is better to visit in person to get the full effect of what has been accomplished. I finally can lay in peace in the new digs but the weather has turned warm and sunny so I am spending much of my time outside on the patio. Lots of big sticks have come down with the last big storm and the wind this past weekend and I am doing my best to help clean them up. I noticed Amy putting fencing in the garden so that must mean plants are beginning to peek through - I can be a bit clumsy and step on them when they are small so she does her best to protect them early in the season. I so do love the garden in the spring to she has her work cut out for her. I'll be out all week in the good weather so I will be posting some signs of spring next.
Our Journey to Bath
Before Amy and Mark ever even thought about making me a part of their family, they were thinking about being innkeepers. About a year and a half after they adopted me, they left me in Erie, PA and took a trip to explore possible towns in New England to open their new business. While I patiently waited at home with a dog sitter, they journeyed to Bath ME, their first stop on the trip. It was December of 2004 so it was cold and raining in Maine but they fell in love with the town and the people they met. Driving to the next town in New Hampshire in a snow storm, they knew in their hearts that Bath was going to be our new home. They went ahead and looked at the other places as planned, but Bath was it. In February of 2005, they left me once again to look at a house on the market in Bath. It had been a B&B but had gone to a private home for the past couple years. Well, lucky us, they loved the house and put in a bid. It was so exciting when the realtor called us in Erie to say the Benjamin F. Packard House was ours! Things started moving quickly then. Packing up the house in Erie, making long distance arrangements for licenses, sprinkler systems and all the things that go with opening a new business. On May 14th, they packed the car and this time took me along too. We closed on the house on May 16th and in six hectic weeks, opened the new Benjamin F. Packard House B&B! My life as a bed and breakfast dog had begun.

Nice! Love the colors and the floor looks great. It looks so good flowing into the auxiliary kitchen. Can't wait to visit in person.
Lupi, the kitchen is beautiful, but more important is the ambiance of the entire house. I cannot imagine a kinder, more accommodating place to stay. That beautiful kitchen creates some wonderful nourishment to start the day, but when we needed a little extra caring, your beautiful home provided just the right comfort and sustenance. You are one lucky pooch! Patti
