Hi everyone, welcome to the Golden Ratio Podcast. I am Jen, G.R. Mom, joined as always by G.R. Dad. Hi. How's it going G.R. Dad?

It's my microphone on. Sounds good. It's my microphone on. I'm looking at the little zigzags on the screen and yes. Excellent. Thank you. Hi. Hi. I'm doing all right.

You remember last week when I was complaining about how disruptive all the house construction was and how tired I was of it.

I don't remember you complaining about anything ever. Do you remember me talking about it? Yes. It's a lot worse now.

I agree wholeheartedly and I'm trying not to complain about it but it sucks being confined to not just like our bedroom with six dogs during the whole entire day.

We are right now are podcasting from the couch but the couch is pushed up against the dining room table. All of our furniture is in a little plastic covered pile in the middle of the main room.

There's no lights because the only lights we had in here were the ceiling fans which have been taken out and those are gone and the new lights aren't active yet.

So there's one tiny lamp up against the wall and that's all the light we have.

There's also cardboard taped to the floor now in now sort of random patterns. There's a sink in the middle of the living room. Literally sink in the living room.

Not hooked up because I mean thankfully yes. But it's been in there for it's day two and a half now on that sink in the middle of the living room.

It gained a faucet today but still. It enjoys watching TV. It gained a faucet. Well if it sits there long enough it might gain two faucets.

Man. It just sucks. The reason we can't use the porch as much as we did last week last week is because the people who are working on a dock have a cute little puppy that they tie up who's adorable.

She's cute and she's not on a short little thing like they just don't want to leave her at home all day which is nice so they bring her with which is nice. She gets plenty of love. She's three months old so she can't just wander the yards or she's on a little string.

But she sits down there in the beach and looks up and Gwak and Remy. I mean Remy stands next to Gwak and she goes. And then they both go.

And then the puppy goes whoo. The puppy invudes. So we've introduced all the dogs except Gwak to the puppy Layla. Gwak.

He has trouble controlling his emotions when he meets strange dogs.

He needs therapy but all he has is avocado. He can get like if we're out on a walk and a dog comes up he.

He sometimes will get his hackles up like he's never attacked any of them but you don't want that with like a little three month old puppy.

He gets weirdly afraid. That's right. All the other dogs have met the puppy. Brody did not like the puppy.

The puppy jumps all over the dog. Remy just was about ready to eat the face off the puppy before I pulled him back. He did not like that.

I mean strong negative. Yeah. Hopps and Vink were like okay like this is fine but I'm leaving now.

I'm too old for this stuff. And Vood was like hello best friend. Let's chase each other around the yard. You want to jump on me?
